ABSTRACT

ESML (Extended Systems Modeling Language) is a new system modeling language based on the Ward-Mellor and Boeing structured methods techniques, both of which have proposed certain extensions of the DeMarco data flow diagram notation to capture control and timing information. The combined notation has a broad range of mechanisms for describing both combinatorial and sequential control logic.
