19:30 - 21:00 Evening Workshops

The room allocation will be announced on the day, based on how many people wish to attend each workshop.

SDL: The next generation

There seems to be some alternative directions:

  1. On the one hand there is the idea to have a well-defined streamlined subset of SDL as discussed at the SAM workshop and at ITU-T in November last year.
  2. On the other hand there is what is essentially the "Model Driven Architecture Approach" where UML and SDL become fully integrated.

Curiously, these two approaches are not completely disjoint - for example:

  1. There are some extensions to SDL such as "INPUT FROM GATE" common to advocates of both approaches;
  2. From both sides there is a need to change the Z series standards to reflect real tools on the market;
  3. A recognition of the need to integrate signalling protocol design and testing.

The work shop will be kicked off by two short presenters who will run the work shop:

ITU-T, ETSI and OMG - what are they doing? - Rick Reed, TSE Ltd.
Streamlining SDL - William Skelton, Solinet

Followed by open discussion on fuure directions and SDL Forum Society role in standards.

'BOF' session(s)

14:00 - 15:30 Panel Session: Future of SDL

Chair: Rick Reed (TSE Ltd.)

No final decisions had been by ITU-T on the content of the next version of the Specification and Description Language (Z.100 series) despite the scheduled date for approval in 2004. The Forum therefore came at an ideal time to discuss what changes might be made. The impact of UML as a framework for ITU-T languages and current trends in tools might be considered. The panel members were selected to represent different views and allowed to provide short written papers before the session.

Panel Members:

Alan Williams(University of Ottawa)
Emmanuel Gaudin (PragmaDev)
Per Blysa(Telelogic)
William Skelton (Solinet)
Thomas Weigert (Motorola)

The delegates were asked to submit written questions for the panel members before the session. The panel members each had a chance to answer selected questions and follow up remarks and supplementary questions from the audience will be allowed. The session produced some interesting discussion.

15:30 - 16:00 Refreshments

16:00 - 17:00 Conclusion

Conclusion from panel session - "keep on planned track".

Announcement of Design Contest Winners:

  1. First prize:  Alkis Yiannakoulias (National Technical University of Athens)
  2. Second prize:  Alan Williams (University of Ottawa)
  3. Third prize:  Keith Moss (The Open University, United Kingdom)

Announcement of Best Paper Awards:

  1. Ferhat Khendek (Concordia University);
  2. Daniel Amyot (University of Ottawa);
  3. Philipp Schaible (University of Kaiserslautern).
