   Dear Environmentalists,

   This  week,  Ramin  Monajemi  will  tell us about the work he has done
   jointly  with  Merijn  de Jonge to improve Lucent's knowledge of their
   own systems.

   This announcement can be found at <http://www.cwi.nl/~pem>

                  Redocumenting a proprietary SDL dialect

   Date:    21.09.00
   Time:    10:00
   Venue:   M2.79, CWI
   Speaker: Ramin Monajemi (Lucent/Bell Labs)
   Title:   Redocumenting a proprietary SDL dialect

   I  will  talk about the joint work currently being carried out between
   Lucent  Technologies and CWI on re-engineering (re-documentation). One
   of  the  major  products  of  Lucent  Technologies is the 5ESS switch.
   Currently,  about  700 million telephone lines are implemented on this
   product. The 5ESS switch is highly modular capable of handling various
   types  of  communication  protocols  through  different  media  access
   points.  Needless  to say that they contain also a bundle of real-time
   complex  software. One of the languages used in the development of the
   core  SW  is  the  proprietary  SDL  dialect  developed  by the end of
   eighties  currently  being experienced as legacy code. The goal of the
   project is to provide insight in this legacy code.

   By  using  the original YACC&LEX grammar definition of proprietary SDL
   language   we   have   derived   the  SDF  grammar  specification  and
   consequently have used it for tool generation.

   Hope to see you at the talk.

   Ramin   Monajemi,   R&D   Centre   Twente,   Lucent   Technologies.

   The  programming environment meetings are a forum for the presentation
   and  discussion  of  new  ideas,  ongoing and finished work. A typical
   meeting  addresses  a subject in the area of programming environments,
   program  generation, algebraic specification, term rewriting, parsing,
   etc.  A presentation ideally takes between 45 and 90 minutes. Meetings
   taking  longer  than 45 minutes are interrupted by a coffeebreak. Most
   Thursdays,  a  meeting is held which starts at 10:00 am. in one of the
   rooms at CWI/WINS. Exceptionally, dates or times may change.

   The    program    of    the    meetings    is    available   on   WWW:
