PDL/Ada---a design language based on Ada
Jean Ε. Sammet, Douglas W. Waugh, Robert W. Reiter · 1981
This paper discusses (1) some general concepts of design languages, (2) the development of the specific design language denoted as PDL/Ada, (3) the specific features of PDL/Ada, and (4) some problems encountered and techniques used in defining PDL/Ada. An appendix shows two examples. Because of space constraints, each of these items can only be touched on briefly. This paper assumes that the reader has a basic familiarity with the Ada language (herein after referred to as Ada), but detailed knowledge is not required.
