Hello Yannick,
There is no such thing as interfaces in current version of SDL.
But, I know there is some ongoing work in this area by the ITU study group
maintaining the SDL language (Q6/SG10).
The new language concept which is planned for SDL-2000 is called gate types.
As far as I know gate types shall match some of the concepts found
in CORBA IDL/TINA ODL which currently are not supported by SDL, mainly
objects and interfaces. This will make it easier to map an IDL
specification to SDL which is strong on behaviour specification.
I'm not sure if the study group is considering UML interfaces in their
work, but as far as I know interfaces in UML, IDL and also Java are
pretty much the same thing!?
Cheers,
Dagbjoern
