It is an honor to have you posting here. Unfortunately, those URLs are all password protected, so I guess non-OMG members will only be able to see the final spec. Thanks, Stephen.

(See http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ad/09-09-01, /09-08-01 and /09-08-02). Final submissions are due in March 2010. Initial submissions for an action language were published in September 2009.

I believe those now are implemented on top of UML action semantics or at least can be exported using UML AS. As per practical use for action semantics, I have been busy working on that, more about this here later... Cheers. Doug,

While tool vendors could have defined a concrete syntax for action semantics, to my knowledge, no one has. I think it's time for the OMG to lend a hand and build a community around this so that they do have something. I've blogged about this in the past, the action semantics are very powerful and are easy to apply to a massively multi-core world. All that's been missing is a practical way to use them. Hopefully this can help. This is great news. While tool vendors could have defined a concrete syntax for action semantics, to my knowledge, no one has.
