Evans, Arthur and C. Robert Morgan "Development of a Communications Oriented Language" Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc.BBN Report 3261 for Defense Communcations Agency March 1976 view details Abstract: A Communications Oriented Language (COL) is a high order language designed to be maximally effective as a vehicle with which to program communications application. This document is a preliminary description of a design for a COL. The design philosophy and principles that lead to the COL are first discussed. Then the language is described, the syntax semi-formally using modified BNF and the semantics informally in English text. Some examples of COL programming are included. An Appendix shows how machine-level instructions for a specific machine can be written in the COL, with an example showing interrupt processing.
