We had the same (or similar) problem.
It must be a common problem in telecommunications , for example in a
line-card
where you need n instances of a set of objects/processes
to support n subscribers lines.
We tried a few different solutions including those ADTs. Some of these
caused
excessive clutter in the model. Too much of the model seemed to be there
just
to keep the objects informed of the PIDs of other objects.
What we now have is a model that is correct SDL but looks as though it
only
supports one line. The code generator and support routines have however
been
written to instantiate those objects n times. When instance 3 of process
A
sends a signal to object B, it will be received by instance 3 of process
B.
The supervisory functions that are common to all subscribers lines have
been
written as a separate domain, and bridge functions in C sort out the
connections.
