MODULI-BASED LANGUAGE FOR BUILDING PROBLEM-SOLVING SCENARIOS

We propose a language for executive specifications of problem-solving scenarios. The scenarios are an aggregate of actions realized as independent software moduli, the information connections between them and the sequence of their execution. An executive system controlling the execution of the scenarios was developed on the basis of the language. This system is the kernel of a system for automated control system design. The scenarios have a hierarchical structure. The organization of the scenarios is based on an object-oriented paradigm. Every module is an instance of a particular type module, called class. This allows one and the same module to be executed in different contexts. A unique information interaction mechanism between the moduli in the scenarios, allowing on-line changes in the information flow, was developed. The language is problem-independent, and can be used in various problem domains.
