CHILL

CCITT HIgh-Level Language

CCITT. (CCITT=Comité Consultatif International Telegraphique et Telephonique, the former name of ITU-T) Work begun in 1975. The first recommendation was in 1980, and revisions have been issued at four year intervals since.

A real-time language, widely used in European telecommunications. Similar in syntax to Modula. Data types ("modes") in CHILL are classified as discrete, powerset, reference, composite, procedure, instance, synchronization, input-output and timing modes. Some modes may have run-time defined parameters. CHILL code has been automatically generated from specifications in SDL[1] and ASN.1.
