  SDL
       
          Specification and Design Language.
       
          Defined by the {ITU-T} (recommendation Z100) to provide a tool
          for unambiguous specification and description of the behaviour
          of telecommunications systems.  The area of application also
          includes process control and real-time applications.  SDL
          provides a Graphic Representation (SDL/GR) and a textual
          Phrase Representation (SDL/PR), which are equivalent
          representations of the same semantics.  A system is specified
          as a set of interconnected {abstract machine}s which are
          extensions of the {Finite State Machine} (FSM).

          2. Specification and Description Language.  {ITU-T}.
          Specification language with both graphical and character-based
          syntaxes for defining interacting extended finite state
          machines.  Used to specify discrete interactive systems such
          as industrial process control, traffic control, and
          telecommunication systems.  Proc Plenary Assembly, Melbourne

          4. Structure Definition Language.  Used internally by DEC to
          define and generate the symbols used for VAX/VMS internal data
          structures in various languages.
       
          5. System Description Language.  language used by the Eiffel/S
          implementation of Eiffel to assemble clusters into a system.
