Abstract

Sdl (Specification and Description Language) evolved from penciland-paper drawings used to describe the structure and behavior of large telecommunications systems. It formally began life in 1976 as a CCITT recommendation and has since been adopted and refined by the ITU into standard z.100 [43], first released in 1988. The 1992 revision mainly added object-orientation; the 2000 revision improved object-oriented data modeling and added exception handling.
