High-Order Language Technology Evaluation.

Abstract : This report is part of the Air Force Systems Command's high-order language (HOL) standardization program to establish a coordinated position on standardization of high-order languages and support tools for use in the development of computer programs for Air Force systems. This technology evaluation includes a technology forecast covering a number of areas of hardware and software with emphasis on their impact on high-order languages. In addition, the technology evaluation addresses the interface of high-order languages with operating systems and data base management systems, and also the impact of real-time technology on high-order languages with emphasis on communications applications.
