The need for this arose because Ericsson Telecommunications Ltd has developed a system that is built on this architecture and wants to use SDL as an implementation language. The scope has been limited to defining the semantics of SDL that relate to processing order, because of the characteristics of a single communication buffer. The conclusion is that with the semantics in place it will be possible to reason as to the properties of a system and it may also be passible to create a software tool directly from the semantic definitions, for automatic reasoning.
