CHILL - The ITU-T programming language (Adopted ISO/IEC 9496:2003, fourth edition, 2003-12-15)
CSA Preface Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT, Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T). This Standard supersedes CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 9496:02 (adoption of ISO/IEC 9496:1998). This International Standard was reviewed by the CSA TCIT under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Information Technology and deemed acceptable for use in Canada. (A committee membership list is available on request from the CSA Project Manager.) From time to time, ISO/IEC may publish addenda, corrigenda, etc. The CSA TCIT will review these documents for approval and publication. For a listing, refer to the CSA Information Products catalogue or CSA Info Update or contact a CSA Sales representative. This Standard has been formally approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada. Scope This Recommendation | International Standard defines the ITU-T programming language CHILL. When CHILL was first defined in 1980 "CHILL" stood for CCITT High Level Language. The following subclauses of this clause introduce some of the motivations behind the language design and provide an overview of the language features. For information concerning the variety of introductory and training material on this subject, the reader is referred to the Manuals, "Introduction to CHILL" and "CHILL user's manual". An alternative definition of CHILL, in a strict mathematical form (based on the VDM notation), is available in the Manual entitled "Formal definition of CHILL".
