E-LOTOS
In computer science E-LOTOS (Enhanced LOTOS) is a formal specification language designed between 1993 and 1999, and standardized by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2001.[1]
E-LOTOS was initially intended to be 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 were stated in ISO/IEC JTC1/N2802 announcement.[3]
In 1997, when the language definition reached the maturity level of an ISO Committee Draft, an announcement was posted describing the main features of E-LOTOS.[4]
The following document[5] recalls the milestones of E-LOTOS definition project.
E-LOTOS has inspired descendent languages,[6] among which LOTOS NT[7] and LNT.[8]
