    Application Controller Language (ACL) enables flexible development of man-machine dialogues, allowing easy modification based on user feedback. This structured language complements MUMPS for modular programming, enhancing data management systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Science
    • Medical Informatics

    Background:

    • Developing effective man-machine dialogues is challenging due to the iterative nature of design and implementation.
    • Traditional programming methods often require significant modifications after initial use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce Application Controller Language (ACL) as a flexible tool for man-machine dialogue development.
    • To demonstrate ACL's utility in facilitating iterative dialogue refinement and modular programming.

    Main Methods:

    • ACL is designed with structure, comments, and ease of editing to support flexible dialogue reshaping.
    • ACL acts as a high-level interface, calling modular MUMPS programs for specific tasks.
    • A unified I/O processor ensures consistent terminal behavior across ACL and MUMPS programs.

    Main Results:

    • ACL facilitates the creation of well-defined, modular MUMPS programs.
    • A single I/O processor ensures uniform terminal appearance and behavior.
    • ACL was successfully applied in developing data management systems for hospital critical care.

    Conclusions:

    • ACL provides a flexible and structured approach to developing and refining man-machine dialogues.
    • The language's design encourages modularity and ease of maintenance.
    • ACL proved effective in a real-world critical care data management application.
