Just one thing- For the graphical interfaces I would use the other Dev
languages and/or tools like Altia FAce Plate to integrate with the backend
development done by SDL. The advantage is one can integrate the behaviour
and the GUI and simulate/debug at model level and also debug at target level
with the integrations b/w SDL models and GUI and running code and GUI
frontend.So in essense one can give inputs from the GUI and the model would
execute at the backend, so one can also debug and verify not only the model
but also the interfaces.

Best Regards
Sriram

Hello,

Specifying models graphically is possible. The ITU-T specs define
the syntax and symantics for this.

> I mean , some graphix is possible or not in sdl?

You can build graphical models of SDL systems using tools like the
Telelogic Tau and simulate/target them. This is usually a lot more
better than doing the systems using "text" SDL. especially in very
big systems.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words :).

> please post your ideas as asoon as you can.

But on second thoughts, if what you meant was "modelling graphical
systems" using SDL. I would say that it would be difficult to say
and should be done on a case by case basis. Describing a graphical
user interface is better done by certain specialised languages that
are used for interface descriptions. However, if you are planning
to use SDL to describe your graphical interfaces, how good an idea
that would be, should be judged on a case-by-case basis. I am very
skeptical though.
