SDL: With Applications from Protocol Specifications Ferenc Belina
SDL is the Specification and Description Language recommended by CCITT (Comite Consultatif International Telegraphique) for the unambiguous specification and description of the behaviour of telecommunication systems. Besides serving as a textbook on SDL, this volume is an introduction to the area of protocol specification. By explaining SDL in a specific area of application, it is hoped that the reader will understand the practical value of the language. SDL is described at three levels: a general overview; a more detailed description of the basic functions; and an investigation of the advanced functions.
