Dear editor,
is it possible to have an outside call beein implemented?

For my class i need an instance to be activated from an unknown invisible 
object from the outside. This means the Diagramm starts with objectA receiving 
a call and then gets active, finishing its tasks and sending a return to the 
outside again.

Thanks :)

\begin{figure}[h]
 \centering
  \begin{sequencediagram}
    \newhiddenthread{t}{mythread}
    \newinst{peter}{peter}
    \newinst[2]{lampe}{lampe}
    \newinst[2]{toilette}{toilette}
    \newinst[2]{wecker}{wecker}

    \begin{call}{peter}{schlafenBis("6:45")}{peter}{}\end{call}
    \begin{call}{peter}{gibZeit() : String}{wecker}{}\end{call}
    \begin{call}{peter}{geheZumBad()}{peter}{}\end{call}
    \begin{call}{peter}{einschalten()}{lampe}{}\end{call}
    \begin{call}{peter}{spülen()}{toilette}{}\end{call}
  \end{sequencediagram}
  \caption{Sequenzdiagramm}
\end{figure}

produces many errrors :( but yes this is what i wanted :)

Taking your code
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{sequencediagram}
\newhiddenthread{t}{:Thread}
\newinst[1]{i}{:Instance}

\begin{call}{t}{function()}{i}{return value}
\end{call}
\end{sequencediagram}
\end{figure}

Produces error : Package pgf Error: No shape named inst1 is known 
\newinst[1]{i}{:Instance}

I don't have this problem... can you provide the whole tex file which can 
produce error?
