In Kant et al. (1992), a method of protocol synthesis, using basic LOTOS (BL) as a specification language, is proposed. In the present paper, we generalize this method. We propose an extended basic LOTOS (EBL) to specify the service and the protocol. With EBL, events are associated with enabling conditions and transformation functions that depend on global variables. Next, we propose a method to synthesize protocols using EBL as a specification language. This method is inspired by the concept of transactions
