SAIL, an Automated Approach to Software Development and Management.

Abstract

SAIL is a software development and management aid which provides a basis for disciplined design, programming, maintenance, and execution of computer programs. The system achieves a new level of centralized software development and maintenance control, while simultaneously decentralizing applications, providing controlled task specialization at compile time, and realizing portability between dissimilar machines. The system encourages economy by reducing duplication of effort often found when many versions of a basic source code are required. The system achieves efficient hardware utilization by providing source code which is specialized at execution time for the task. Except for a few machine dependent statements, SAIL is written in ANSI (66) FORTRAN IV. The system is currently operating on CDC, IBM, and Honeywell computers.
