The Common Prototyping Language. A Module Interconnection Approach

Abstract

This report describes a collaborative effort between Honeywell and the University of Maryland towards construction of a Common Prototyping Language. Our goal is to develop a wide-spectrum language offering object- oriented, logic, and functional programming paradigms based on the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), coupled with a powerful module interconnection capability supplying flexible assembly of existing parts and rapid, distributed reconfigurability. We plan on using an open language design, allowing us to maximize use of widely accepted features and subsystems available within CLOS. Moreover, the construction of a wide spectrum language should provide significant breadth of expression compared to other prototyping language. Finally, our language will feature a powerful interconnection capability, hence allowing prototypes to be assembles using existing parts.
