SDL Forum

The SDL Forum is a biennial (once every two years) event where experts, users, toolmakers and even some critics of ITU System Design Languages (such as ITU Message Sequence Chart, ITU Specification and Description Language) and related notations (such as UML) can meet face to face. Although it is a conference, the name "Forum" is retained because the main characteristic of the Forum is a meeting place for people involved or interested in System Design Languages (SDL).

SAM workshops

The SAM workshop provides an open discussion platform: the first workshop concerning Specification and Description Language And Message Sequence Chart (MSC) matters. The proceedings of the 4th workshop had the title System Analysis and Modelling: 4th International SDL and MSC workshop, with the theme Security Analysis and Modelling. SAM thus addresses topics related to various description techniques and the use of the acronym has evolved: for the 5th (and subsequent workshops) the title is  System Analysis and Modelling. The intended audience ranges from SDL Forum members to tool vendors, and from researchers to users, and participants in standardization bodies on System Design Language matters. The workshop is usually limited to about 100 persons. Being a less formal event than the biennial SDL Forum the workshop is expected to be a place for intensive discussions enabling the exchange of ideas for the future development and application of System Design Languages.
