Abstract

Many of the advances in computing technology that have a direct bearing on software productivity have been integrated into a unique requirements-oriented computing structure devoid of transfer of control constructs. Overhead is a major obstacle to such a structure. A computer architecture based on this structure is therefore derived for which combinational logic can be used to solve this overhead problem. A family of computers called Transition Machines is thereby defined which addresses many of the major problem areas affecting software productivity.
