The Use of a Communications Oriented Language Within a Software Engineering System.

Abstract

Requirements of a Communications Oriented Language (COL) are outlined and the feasibility of using a COL based on this outline within a Software Engineering System is shown. A pilot implementation of a subset of the outlined language is described. This pilot implementation was developed using a metacompiler to form an open ended compilation system in conjunction with input data on the syntax of a high order language and the semantics of a target computer language. Examples of code generated for two different computers are given. (Author)
