Abstract
It is the purpose of the system superstructure described in this paper to create an environment that eases the user's development of software. Techniques and software tools are described that help organize a system into a very structured and modular framework that is conductive to interfacing, upgrading, partitioning onto multiple computer systems, and debugging. A system dictionary is described that together with the modular superstructure allows the creation of a highly interactive environment where single programs or any level of aggregation of programs can be executed and where any variable or aggregation of variables can be examined, traced, displayed or modified.
