Control Structures in Digital Processes.
Abstract
The control space of a digital process can be viewed as a projection of the state space of the processor. This state space may be an interpretation of some underlying (perhaps physical) processor's state space. A control operator is a projection of a process step: the portion which specifies the 'next control state'. A set of elementary control structures is defined and used as a common basis for comparing the control structures in a microcomputer and several programming languages. The relationship of this view of control to several areas of computer science research is noted. (Author)
