  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 machines 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.
