The Rapid Generation of a Class of Software Tools

D. Ince * and M. Woodman *

Faculty of Mathematics, Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA, UK

A crucial aspect of every computer project is the notations used to describe its evolving software. Computer-based systems have become so large and so complex that software tools are needed to process these notations. Some requirements for such tools are presented and an environment for their rapid synthesis is described. The environment is based on the use of a table-driven LL(1) parser that processes the notation. The notation itself is expressed as a form of attribute grammar.

Received June 1984.
