Abstract

The use of APL as a language for system design and prototyping is discussed. Benefits of APL over traditional design techniques are shown to include higher productivity, improved code reliability, superior maintainability and performance, and executable documentation.Hierarchical and hybrid approaches to modelling systems of various degrees of complexity are presented, with examples chosen from the author's experience.
