On the representation of program structures by decision tables: a critical assessment

R. Maes *

Recent publications suggest that use of decision tables in analysing conventional computer programs. In this paper, it is argued that the classical decision table format is not well suited to represent flow-chart-like programs.

Some alternative decision table conventions are investigated. Finally, a basic distinction is made between the use of decision tables in the problem statement phase and in programming.

Received June 1977.
