Abstract: Software for controlling hardware dedicated to applications in commercial transaction processing is described. Application programs written initially in a mnemonic language are translated to tables. The system operates by tasks referring to these application tables being processing by a software processor which either interprets the instructions in the tables directly or issues tasks to other software processors which then perform the required operations.
The software has been implemented on a Raytheon PTS100 mini-computer. A substantial suite of programs has been written for a sales order processing application which involves a network of these machines connected to each other and to a large ICL 1904A computer by telephone links
