Application design within the system for business automation (SBA)
Abstract
The system for business automation provides a new design methodology with which business applications can be automated by non-professional programmers onto a computer. This methodology retains the users manual perception of his application, it allows a gradual automation of the application, each application within a business system can be designed with only local knowledge of the business, and frames of reference are provided within which the application is designed.
