I'm trying to put together a survey of state machine languages that could
be used for real-time and communications systems development. I'm also
interested in finding out the tools out there that use or compile them,
although that's a secondary issue at this point.


So far my list is pretty limited:


        Lex (no kidding... it's used by kermit, as a subset called 'wart')
        SDL
        Estelle


I'm sure there are some other state machine implementation languages out
there. I know there used to be one at BBN, for instance, in the PSN group,
but I completely forget what it was.


Please respond via email (or at least send a copy of your posting via
email), and I'll summarize to the net.


thanks,


Peter Desnoyers
