Configuration Description Language Processor Design Disclosure.
Abstract
The Configuration Description Language System (CDL) was developed to support a complex fire control simulation (TRICS) and the Advanced Weapon System Simulation Program (AWSS). Both of these systems are large simulations which require the facility for modifying the linkage between software components through input directives. The concepts used in representing program configurations with CDL represent a departure from conventional methods of varying the way in which major program components connect. Program flows are described in a very high level language, through input directives, thus producing configurations that are readable and self-documenting. The system frees the experimenter from having to know the details of the system but at the same time permits the reference and use of actual program components. The CDL system was developed not only to serve the user but also the programmer. It performs the work normally done by the programmer in interfacing the users' CDL with the actual program. The CDL system is coded in the SIMSCRIPT II.5 language, version 4.0 and is operational on the CDC 6700 computer system under the SCOPE 3.4 operating system. (Author)
