Specification and Description Language also known as ITU Z.100. Check it out at; http://www.sdl-forum.org/SDL/ Authors might be a little put out that they are not on the list of internationally standardized modeling languages for FSMs ;-) UML certainly is on the list and is also the darling of the software industry. SDL is the equivalent for telecoms. As a consequence its pretty good for specifying large communities of distributed, co-operating FSMs. There is a large quantity of code running in switching networks that is based on SDL documentation, e.g. ITU-T Q.931 (ISDN PRI). Support your incremental approach to your FSM library Andreas. Have followed your work for a while and dont have anything to say that I havent said already.
