Operational Software Concept (Phase One). Volume III. Higher Order Language Selection.

摘要

This volume,the third of five,describes the evaluation and selection method used to rank higher order languages for possible use in coding OSC routines. Ten general purpose higher order languages were compared and ranked according to their desirability and applicability to (1) the overall OSC programming task, (2) the Phase Two demonstration task, (3) use as an applications programming language, (4) use as an executive-writing language,and (5) use as the system integrator language. JOVIAL (J3B) was selected as the best candidate for the Phase Two task,and the development of a new language was recommended for the long-term use of OSC.
