Abstract

The Linda program builder (LPB), a computer-assisted software engineering (CASE) tool for explicit programming, is presented. It isolates much of the administrative effort in constructing parallel programs, and maintains a program-describing database. This database feeds information to the compiler for optimization, to a visualizer for enhanced program visualization, and to other tools in the environment. The LPB is a window-oriented, menu-based, user-friendly system which provides coordination frameworks for program construction. It also represents an alternative approach to high-level programming languages
