Abstract

A literate programming paradigm that provides an environment suitable for documenting and organizing the low-level design of a system is presented. It is shown that a literate program design language (PDL) strengthens the bridge design and implementation activities since the documentation generated during the design phase can be used directly as a shell for program construction. In this type of language, module names and program constructs appear as labeled modules which can be directly expanded into their equivalent code.
