Computing | SDL Specification and Design Language. Defined by the ITU-T (recommendation Z100) to provide a tool for unambiguous specification and description of the behaviour of telecommunications systems. The area of application also includes process control and real-time applications. SDL provides a Graphic Representation (SDL/GR) and a textual Phrase Representation (SDL/PR), which are equivalent representations of the same semantics. A system is specified as a set of interconnected abstract machines which are extensions of the Finite State Machine (FSM). 1. System Software Development Language. System software for the B1700.

Specification language with both graphical and character-based syntaxes for defining interacting extended finite state machines. Used to specify discrete interactive systems such as industrial process control, traffic control, and telecommunication systems. Proc Plenary Assembly, Melbourne 14-1988-11-25, Fasc X.1, CCITT.

Economic History | Slovakia | A record 84% of voters participated in the vote, giving the Dzurinda government a clear mandate for change to a reformist coalition led by economist Mikulas Dzurinda and made up of four diverse parties--the Slovak Democratic Coalition (SDK), SDL, the Party of the Hungarian Coalition (SMK), and the Party of Civic Understanding (SOP). (references) |
Political Economy | Fiji | The ethnic divide between the SDL (mainly composed of indigenous Fijians) and the FLP (mainly composed of Indo-Fijians) remains an obstacle to long term political stability. (references) |
Slovak Rep | Slovakia held parliamentary elections in September 1998, and a coalition government composed of the Slovak Democratic Coalition (SDK), Party of the Democratic Left (SDL), Party of Civic Understanding (SOP) and Party of the Hungarian Coalition (SMK) was able to defeat the previous government composed of the Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS), Slovak National Party (SNS) and the Association of Slovak Workers (ZRS). Election results gave the HZDS 43 seats in parliament, the SDK 42 seats, the SDL 23 seats, the SMK 15 seats, the SNS 14 seats and the SOP 13 seats. (references) | |
Political Rights | Fiji | Court challenges based on these irregularities were scheduled to be heard in early 2002. Interim and caretaker Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase's SDL party received the largest number of seats in Parliament, and Qarase was asked to form a government by President Iloilo. (references) |
