A flexible command generation technique for application in dialogue systems
G. Pfeiffer · Software Practice and Experience · 1984
Abstract An important problem in the design of image processing systems is the specification of appropriate command structures for control of dedicated hardware and software functions. This paper describes a general and flexible method for the definition and processing of specialized commands. The idea is to generalize the specification of parameters within procedures by allowing—in a well‐controlled way—a few syntactic extensions. The paper presents the extension mechanism, demonstrates the power of the command processor by practical examples and discusses some critical points.
