Abstract

APL used as a programming language has been implemented in computing systems to provide time-sharing with remote terminals. Since the operative principles guiding the design of APL include simplicity and practicality of application, APL is extremely effective as a development aid for special purpose processors.

An extension to the semantics of APL is proposed. It allows one APL Processor (APLP) to attach another processor, which may be an (APLP) with its own workspace, or some other processor. A special case is signon from a terminal, where the attaching ...
