Topic: SYDPOL: System Development and Profession-Oriented Languages
Time: 1:15-2:30
Place: Poly Sci Bldg. Room 268. ***NOTE NONSTANDARD PLACE***
A new project involving several universities and research centers in three
Scandinavian countries has been establihed to create new methods of system
development, using profession-oriented languages. They will design
computer-based systems that will operate in work associated with
professions (the initial application is in hospitals), focussing on the
problem of facilitating cooperative work among professionals. One aspect
of the research is the development of formal languages for describing the
domains of interest and providing an interlingua for the systems and for
the people who use them. This talk will focus on the language-design
research, its goals and methods.
