Abstract
This paper explores the use of abstract data types as a modularization and structuring technique in the design of programs, particularly larger programs including compilers and operating systems. The concepts of type and type definition are discussed. Some data structuring mechanisms are generalized and several simple examples are presented. The examples increase in complexity and conclude with the design of a directory system, illustrating the power of data types as a design tool.Keywords
