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 a plurality of input event elements. A sequence generator, coupled to the guided editor, autonomously processes the program, data and field definitions into a plurality of functionally descriptive atomic sequences, each describing a unique characteristic such that a plurality of frames, each comprising zero or more functionally descriptive atomic sequences from each of the functionally descriptive sequences, respectfully describes the plurality of input event elements. A rule processor, including a program rule base conditionally describing the structure and operation of a predetermined application program, autonomously processes the program rule base in concert with the plurality of functionally descriptive atomic sequences proceeding generally sequentially over the plurality of frames conditionally unifying the plurality of functionally descriptive atomic sequences with the structure and operation of the predetermined application program. A syntax processor, including a syntax rule base defining the syntax of a pred…
