A Logic Design Translator Experiment Demonstrating Relationships of Language to Systems and Logic Design

The original work on Logic Design Translators was motivated by the realization that it is possible to automate, to a certain degree, the repetitious and time-consuming process of developing logic equations for digital computers. In this paper, the linguistic basis for the system is discussed. An experiment which explains the translation process is also presented. The translator resembles closely a compiler system; the several language levels involved in the logical design process are discussed. Finally, a relationship between language and machine design is demonstrated.
