A NEW APPROACH TO COMPUTER COMMAND STRUCTURES.

Abstract

The purpose of the research under this contract extension was to investigate programming manipulation and associated problems using the algebraic computer language (theta-language) developed previously under this research contract. The report contains a refinement of the theta-language, the description of the metalanguage as a source language, the definition of the theta-language in terms of metalanguage, the establishment of the thetalanguage as a precedence language, and the syntactic structure of the theta-language. It also contains the programming manipulation of the theta-language, the theoretical investigation of the prime phase structure of the theta-language, and application of linear graph theory to programming control.
