Rule-Based Expression Mechanisms for Procedural Languages

We report on experiences on adding a rule based expression mechanism to an existing procedural programming language (C++) and on designing and implementing a self-contained language { and its integrated programming environment { supporting similar but more general capabilities. Both languages, XC and XE, are based on abstract data types and XE is a close relative of CLU. Its programming environ...
