Abstract

Automatic generation of an application program is performed by a programmed system including a guided editor for establishing program, data and field definitions from input event elements. A sequence generator, coupled to the guided editor, autonomously processes the program, data and field definitions into descriptive atomic sequences, each describing a unique characteristic such that a plurality of frames describes the input event elements. A rule processor, including a program rule base describing the structure and operation of an application program, autonomously processes the program rule base with the descriptive atomic sequences unifying the descriptive atomic sequences with the structure and operation of the application program. A syntax processor, including a language syntax rule base, autonomously unifies the descriptive atomic sequences with the language syntax to provide a coded representation of the application program.
