Description
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 intemational standards. The primary focus of this publication is to consider the obiect-ofi-ented extensions of SDL and how they will allow SDL to continue to compete with the development of other object-oriented techniques.
