Specification and Description Language (SDL)
This tutorial discusses the applications and reasons for the use of specification and description language (SDL). Over the last decade, the size of produced software has increased dramatically. More and more systems are multiprocess and distributed, and they execute in a heterogeneous environment. It is increasingly accepted within a steadily growing range of industrial segments that the best way to meet the needs of these systems is through...

Specification and Description Language (SDL) is a specification language targeted at the unambiguous specification and description of the behaviour of reactive and distributed systems. It is defined by the ITU-T (Recommendation Z.100.) Originally focused on telecommunication systems, its current areas of application include process control and real-time applications in general. SDL provides both a graphical Graphic Representation (SDL/GR)...

Software Development Using Specification and Description Language - Real Time
Cost over-run and production delay have been serious problems faced by software developers for the past several decades. One way of mitigating this is the use of pictorial symbols instead of text for expressing the design and implementation details involved in software development. As we say, a picture is worth a thousand words and one such representational system which uses this aphorism in actual practice is the Specification...
