-
- The TTCN standard (ISO 9646-3) has reached IS status, and has been
- submitted for publication by ISO; extensions to cover concurrency are also
- being progressed (not sure of the status of this)
-
- ISO 8824/8825 - ASN.1 Syntax and Basic Encoding Rules - were published as
- International Standards in 1990; extensions to the syntax are also being
- worked on (8824/DAM1).

-
- ISODE (the ISO Development Environment) contains various ASN.1 based
- tools, and is freely available. I don't know of any specific TTCN
- compilers currently available.
-
- Here at NPL we have been working on a set of tools aimed at making the
- production of TTCN test suites easier, using a new form of the notation
- called "Developer's TTCN". This can then be turned into standard TTCN when
- needed. I'll send you more details if interested.
-
- Hope that helps.

- Simon.
