Abstract :
We describe three case studies in the use of Basic LOTOS for electronic switching systems software. The studies cover design recovery, requirements specification, and design activities. We also report lessons learned from the studies. Early lessons suggested changes to the syntax of the language used, and the need for some specific analysis tools. The last case study reports some of the results of these changes
