Abstract

The paper describes a high level interactive conversational language L-A-S (Linear Algebra and Systems) used in analysis and design of linear control systems. The L-A-S language is written in FOR-TRAN-IV (DEC-PDP 10) but its use does not require the knowledge of standard programming languages. Modular structure of the language permits easy modification updating and extensions. The syntax and semantics are simple and straightforward so that familiarity with the language may be easily attained.

Zusammenfassung

In der Arbeit wird eine interaktive höhere Dialogsprache L-A-S (Linear Algebra and Systems) beschrieben, die in der Analyse und im Entwurf von linearen Steuerungssystemen Verwendung findet. Die Sprache L-A-S ist in FORTRAN-IV (DEC PDP 10) geschrieben, benötigt jedoch für den Einsatz nicht Kenntnisse üblicher Programmiersprachen. Die modulare Struktur der Sprache erlaubt einfache Abänderungen, Fortschreibung und Erweiterungen. Syntax und Semantik sind einfach und einleuchtend, so daß eine Vertrautheit mit der Sprache leicht erzielt werden kann.
