Tim,
I work as the product manager of the SDL Suite at Telelogic, and I can
assure you that SDL is in no way 'out of the running'.
On the contrary, SDL is one of the important inputs into the standardization
of UML 2.0 (have a look at www.u2-partners.org) and Telelogic is very active
in this work as is many corporations that use SDL (see for example
www.telelogic.com/news/2001/010821uml2-eng.pdf or
http://www.telelogic.com/products/tau/languages/uml_sdl/faq.cfm or some of
the many articles on our web site explaining how UML and SDL come together).
Furthermore, we expect SDL to also evolve and adapt itself more to UML, a
process which was already started with SDL-2000 where the ITU Z.109 standard
defines how you can use UML graphics to represent SDL constructs. In this
way, we expect that the many strengths of SDL (such as a formally defined
action language) will be available for UML users, even if UML in itself does
not provide them.
Best regards,
Thomas
