Abstract

This paper applies the concepts of hierarchical levels of abstraction and structured programming to the design of a large program system. An operating system for a multi-processor installation is specified that supports a large number of concurrently active processes and provides a virtual store for them. The specification is in an extended version of PASCAL, a high-level language.
