    High level forms specification in office automation
    Balbin, Isaac, 1959- (University of Melbourne, 1983)
    Electronic replicas of printed forms provide a very convenient man-machine interface for capturing data. In this thesis, we describe, FSL, a very high level language for specifying forms. The specification is complete in that it contains sufficient information for the system to determine the source of the data, what data is valid, how it is to be displayed and the sequence of fields to be visited - which may depend on data previously input and the state of the database. We argue that this approach will significantly reduce the cost of producing software for transaction oriented data processing.
