High Order Language Control Facility.

Abstract

Recent DOD studies dealing with the problems of proper management of computer resources have made several recommendations. One is that high order languages (HOL) should be used to develop software so long as the number of different HOL is constrained and those remaining are carefully controlled. The purpose of this study is to specify the organization and functions of a HOL Control Facility and to discuss some of the issues involved in implementing such a facility for the DOD HOL Program. This study resulted from a synthesis of information available in the literature and from the author's experience as part of the DOD HOL Program. He concludes that: control facilities are necessary for all DOD approved HOL; control facilities for existing DOD approved HOL will remain separate entities under the various military departments; the control facility for the new DOD HOL should be jointly manned and supported and set up as soon as possible; and that the facility should use the ARPANET and become part of the National Software Works.
