Jean Ε. Sammet, Douglas W. Waugh, Robert W. Reiter

Open full text 10 citations

Abstract

This paper discusses (1) some general concepts of design languages, (2) the development of the specific design language denoted as PDL/Ada, (3) the specific features of PDL/Ada, and (4) some problems encountered and techniques used in defining PDL/Ada. An appendix shows two examples. Because of space constraints, each of these items can only be touched on briefly. This paper assumes that the reader has a basic familiarity with the Ada language (herein after referred to as Ada), but detailed knowledge is not required.
