On the Design of an Executive Program and a Common Simulation Language Translator for a Systems Analysis Program.

Abstract

Development work towards the realization of an executive program and language translator for use with a systems analysis program for vulnerability assessment is described. The executive program permits sequencing of arbitrary application modules on a stand alone basis and provides for exchange of data between modules. An Executive Control Language is described for programming the actions of the executive program. The Common Simulation Language is described which incorporates many of the features of the NET-2, SCEPTRE, and CIRCUS-2 simulation languages. Techniques and difficulties associated with the automated translation of Common Simulation Language text to the equivalent NET-2, SCEPTRE, and CIRCUS-2 language texts are discussed. Programs for automatically generating LR(k) parsers and multi-scanner lexical analyzers are also described. (Author)
