Abstract:

A restructurable computer system offers the user an evolutionary approach to the design and use of computer systems. To support this, a unified approach is proposed in this report. A meta machine and its environment are described which provide the ability to treat a macromodular description of a system as a program to be executed or as a set of specifications from which the system may be directly implemented in macromodules.
