	Specification and Design Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SDL (short for Specification and Description Language) is a specification language targeted at the unambiguous specification and description of the behaviour of reactive and distributed systems.
		SDL provides both a graphical Graphic Representation (SDL/GR) as well as a textual Phrase Representation (SDL/PR), which are both equivalent representations of the same underlying semantics.
		SDL is formally complete, so it can be used for code generation for either simulation or final targets.

	Preliminary Design of ADL/C++ - A Specification language for C++ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Traditionally specification languages have been designed to give a specification of a computation independent of the implementation language(s) in which the computation is realized.
		For example, the specification language Z [9] uses set-theoretic semantics for specifications and Larch [3] and Tecton [4] are languages based on algebraic specification.
		Such specifications can be easily used for testing purposes also, since an implementation can be executed with an input data and the output generated along with the test input can be plugged into the specification to see whether the specification is satisfied for that particular test data.

		The behavioral aspects of the elements of the language are illustrated by the attributes defined in tables 1, 2, and 3.
		Design guidelines will be captured by the ADL in the form of rules (syntactic and semantic actions).
		At this point, the domain is well defined and can now be used by product designers to design box structures that conform to the domain rules given in the profile and topology.

		The.NET Common Language Runtime creates a specialized copy of the native code for each generic type instantiation with a value type, but shares a single copy of the native code for all reference types (since, at the native code level, references are just pointers with the same representation).
		Specifically: If a pre-defined implicit conversion (§6.1) exists from type S to type T, all user-defined conversions (implicit or explicit) from S to T are ignored.
		Specifically, the type parameter count is one plus the number of commas specified between the delimiters.

	Evaluating a PSM specification language in Adaptive Design
		Their original purpose was to provide a language in which the human expert could communicate his/her problem-solving knowledge, and the knowledge engineer could identify the ``standard'' tasks and mechanisms underlying expert performance in a variety of domains.
		One was designed to investigate the long-term affects of reflection on the quality of the problem-solver's solutions, and the other was designed to investigate its affects on the efficiency of its process.
		For complicated tasks, such as knowledge engineering and adaptive design, it is not clear that all the relevant dimensions can be identified a-priori, and perhaps some methodology such as quality-function-deployment [Akao 1990] could be deployed to identify the more important dimensions with respect to the goals of the language/process under investigation.

	IMS Global Learning Consortium: Learning Design Specification
		This language is designed to enable many different pedagogies to be expressed.
		The approach has the advantage over alternatives in that only one set of learning design and runtime tools then need to be implemented in order to support the desired wide range of pedagogies.
		The language was originally developed at the Open University of the Netherlands (OUNL), after extensive examination and comparison of a wide range of pedagogical approaches and their associated learning activities, and several iterations of the developing language to obtain a good balance between generality and pedagogic expressiveness.

		In fact, I think literate programming can be a logical extension of what Bertrand Meyer is talking about when he advocates using a programming language as a specification and design language as well.
		Once the specifications are set, code chunks can be added as necessary in the appropriate parts of the document.
		In fact, one of the projects I am working on is a design for a prototype system, in which the purpose of the code chunks is simply to illustrate roughly how things can be put together; I don't intend to actually tangle and compile the web.
