(Whatever happened to the line eater?  Don't you all miss it? :-)

Greetings all.  I apologise for posting this to the net, but I have
tried repeatedly to reply by mail.  So, Antonio, if you are out there
and still reading the net, try to email me directly so that I can find
out what your path is from here.

Hi, we are working on timing in specification languages here, and so
we possess a lot of references to LOTOS papers and reports.  I can
probably find some of them in time (unfortunately, everyone else in my
department likes Apple Macs, so that's where all the stuff is), but
the fundamentals are the standard ISO 8807 and the tutorial paper by
Ed Brinksma and Tommaso Bolognesi, which contains further references.

T Bolognesi and E Brinksma, "Introduction to the ISO specification
language LOTOS", Computer Networks and ISDN Systems 14 (1987) 25-59

Hope this helps.  If you want to know more, I will be happy to dig
further for you.

I would, anyway, be interested to receive a copy of any bibliography
on the topic which you end up putting together.

Regards,
		Mark

BTW, can anybody tell me Ed Brinksma's email address?  (Yes, I know
it's on the paper I referenced above, but it's not legible on my copy
:-( )
