ABSTRACT
The paper describes a succinct problem-oriented programming language. The language is broad in scope, having been developed for, and applied effectively in, such diverse areas as microprogramming, switching theory, operations research, information retrieval, sorting theory, structure of compilers, search procedures, and language translation. The language permits a high degree of useful formalism. It relies heavily on a systematic extension of a small set of basic operations to vectors, matrices, and trees, and on a family of flexible selection operations controlled by logical vectors. Illustrations are drawn from a variety of applications.

Experiences with a simple structured programming language
SIGCSE '74: Proceedings of the fourth SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science educationA great deal of interest has developed in structured programming [Dahl, Dijkstra, and Hoare, 1972] during the past few years. This paper is concerned with some experiences obtained in the use of a structured programming language in the computer science ...
Syntax extension and the IMP72 programming language
The IMP72 language for the DEC PDP-10 computer is the most recent of the IMP family of extensible software implementation languages. Its facility for extending the syntax of the language, the syntax statement, is simple enough to be useful to relatively ...
A Transportable Programming Language (TPL) System. II. The Bifunctional Compiler System
The transportable programming language (TPL) method is a high-level-language approach that uses a bifunctional compiler to efficiently convert code among various dialects of a particular high-level language (HLL) via the hypothetical parent of the high-...
