Cosmogol: a language to describe finite state machines
Stéphane Bortzmeyer · 2006
Several RFCs contain a state machine to describe a protocol. There is no standard way of describing such a machine, the most common way being an ASCII-art diagram. This document specifies an other solution: a domain-specific language for finite state machines. It allows state machine descriptions to be automatically checked and may be translated into other formats. Its purpose is to provide a stable reference for RFCs which use this mini-language.
