Program generator systems

Published: 01 January 1977 Publication History

Abstract

A program generator system is a general software tool for producing program generators. The program generator automates portions of the program synthesis process for members of a particular class of programs, allowing the source forms of programs to be more compact and to reflect the conceptual basis of the applications area more directly. This paper explores the design and workings of program generator systems for simulation programming. A generalization of the macro processor is shown to form a sound design basis, a basis which can be adapted to the simulation programming environment by the inclusion of innovative features. The status of a pilot implementation of a program generator system for GPSS is reported.
