This volume, the proceedings of the Fourth SDL Forum, contains nearly 40 contributions illustrating the latest experiences in applying SDL, the Specification and Description Language recommended by CCITT. SDL is a formal language based on communicating extended state machines and algebraically defined data. The contributions cover training, applications, methodology, language evolution and support tools, including tools for document handling, simulation, test and verification. The book contains descriptions of about 20 SDL tools demonstrated at the Forum, which form an up-to-date survey of those commercially available as well as the more research oriented tools.

SDL '89

Amardeo Sarma

Specification and Description Language (SDL) is a well-proven and standardised technology, which continues to evolve and be adapted to meet new challenges. The long term success factor for SDL is its popularity. It fulfils the needs of both the individual end user, who is mainly interested in the available features of SDL and other involved companies, who are also interested in the general market and standards aspects of SDL. Other object-oriented specification tools exist but few span all phases of development from system specification to simulation or code generation as SDL does. Even fewer are maintained as international standards. The primary focus of this publication is to consider the object-oriented extensions of SDL and how they will allow SDL to continue to compete with the development of other object-oriented techniques.
