Abstract

Summary form only given. The author examines the difficulties in solving the generic problem of finding reliable, efficient, timely, and cost-contained solutions for automation problems in software engineering. He notes that it is desirable to have a high-level description system that takes advantage of AI, SE, database-management systems, and graphics technologies for interactive and rapid development of functional prototypes. At the heart of such a system, there is an executable very-high-level design language which can be used in interactive, incremental, and hierarchical specification of large-scale systems
