Abstract :
The RTAG (real-time asynchronous grammars) programming language is discussed. The language is based on an attribute grammar notation for specifying protocols. Its main design goals are: (1) to support concise and easily understood expression of complex real-world protocols; and (2) to serve as the basis of a portable software system for automated protocol implementation. The algorithms used in generating implementations from given specifications are sketched, and a Unix-based automated implementation system for RTAG is described
