Abstract

Abstract Design And Program Translator (ADAPT) is an integrated set of tools and approaches for the design and development of software systems. Together they include a module specification language and a system design language for specifying module interfaces and interconnections. This paper explains some of their major features and illustrates their use in the design of some examples--a set of reusable software components and a generalized editor system. Benefits of the ADAPT approach are discussed, emphasizing executable design and modifiability.
