Dear M T Chan,
You are looking for applications in real-life projects using context parameters
in SDL specifications. I guess there is little to find, since the tool support,
as you point out, is very poor. It's a big shame that major tool vendors still
don't support context parameters six years after the standard (SDL-92) was
released. So without code generation support in particular, it's not straightforward
to apply context parameters in system implementations.
With regard to literature the most comprehensive explanation of context
parameters you will find in the textbook "Systems Engineering Using SDL-92",
A. Olsen, O. F�rgemand, B. M�ller-Pedersen, R. Reed and J. R. W. Smith.

You may also download a PostScript version of the paper "New Features in
SDL-92", O. F�rgemand and A. Olsen. Tele Danmark Research. In this paper
you will find a few pages about the topic.

My understanding is context parameters could be used for parameterization of specifications (behavior or otherwise) to handle different types in the calling context. I have checked with Telelogic that SDT, the latest release, does not support code generation for context parameters and I did not get reply from Verilog. Without code generation support, I wonder how context parameters can be applied to system implementation. Any comment/pointers to study or papers are most welcomed.
