E-LOTOS

E-LOTOS (Enhanced LOTOS) is a formal specification language designed between 1993 and 1999, and standardized by ISO in 2001.[1]

E-LOTOS was initially intended to be as a revision of the LOTOS language standardized by ISO 8807 in 1989. But the revision turned out to be profound, leading to a new specification language.

The starting point for the revision of LOTOS was the PhD thesis[2] of Ed Brinksma, who had been the Rapporteur at ISO of the LOTOS standard.

In 1993, the initial goals of the definition of E-LOTOS have been stated in this announcement[3]

In 1997, when the language definition reached the maturity level of an ISO Committee Draft, the following announcement[4] was posted, which describes the main features of E-LOTOS.

The following document[5] recalls the milestones of E-LOTOS definition project.

E-LOTOS has inspired descendent languages, among which LOTOS NT[6] and LNT[7]
