The RAND-ABEL Programming Language
A topic based approach to a great civilization, the books in this series each cover a different aspect of that civilization. The history in these books explores how people lived and draws out what our own society has learned from Ancient Greece. The titles focus on primary sources and what they tell us about people, events and changes. This title explores the lives of Ancient Greek children.
The RAND-ABEL Programming Language
"This Note describes the RAND-ABEL programming language, which was designed to be suitable for (1) large rule-based systems, (2) war gaming and multiscenario sensitivity analysis, and (3) use by any of several governmental gaming and analysis organizations. It is designed to be readable by analysts and other subject matter specialists without much preparation. The Note documents the RAND-ABEL language as it existed in March 1988. RAND-ABEL can be ported to any computer that has a C compiler. It is very fast in execution time compared with other languages of similar readability. The RAND-ABEL language provides a number of unique capabilities. For example, it supports tables within the source code, for use as decision tables or to govern an iterative execution, and it is a strongly typed language, permitting certain types of errors in complex programs to be uncovered early."--Rand abstracts
An Analyst's Primer for the RAND/ABEL Programming Language
This Note is a primer for analysts wishing to use the RAND/ABEL programming language, a fast, high-level, strongly typed procedural language developed for use in building large and complex knowledge-based simulations in a C/UNIX environment. The primer supplements the comprehensive reference manual by providing a simple introduction and problem sets. The targeted reader is an analyst with subject-area knowledge, modeling capability, and a general understanding of computer programming, but only modest programming skills. After reading this primer and working through the exercises provided, such a person should be able to read and modify substantive logic within RAND/ABEL programs, although sometimes going to the reference manual and depending on more proficient programmers for complex operations or subtle debugging.
