Description

This proceedings contains a selection of papers covering the most relevant areas of application of standardized FDTs, including ASNI, Estelle, LOTOS and SDL. An extensive description of tools for FDTs is provided as well as applications related to implementation derivation, design by stepwise refinement, testing, transformation, formalization of standards, industrial transfer, and others. A small number of papers dealing with language issues, basic theoretical aspects of the target FDTs, and comparisons between standardized FDTs and alternative approaches have also been included.
