概要 （英文）

IN ORDER TO UPGRADE THE EFFICIENCY OF ADMINISTRATION IN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANIES AND KEEP PACE WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THE ADVANCED INFORMATION SOCIETY, MUCH MORE APPLICATION PROGRAMS, WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE AS THE BASIS OF SUCH ADMINISTRATION, WILL HAVE TO BE DEVELOPED. AN URGENT NEED HAS THUS ARISEN FOR A DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT IN THE EFFICIENCY OF PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT SO THAT PROGRAMS CAN BE MADE IN TIME TO SATISFY THE GIVEN REQUIREMENTS. OUR RESEARCH HAS LED TOTHE DEVELOPMENT OF SPACE AN AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING SYSTEM WHICH MAKES CORRECT PROGRAMS AUTOMATICALLY ACCORDING TO GIVEN DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS,AND ALSO SUPPORTS THE CREATION OF THE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS BY HUMAN ENDEAVOR. HOW TO READ THE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS AND HOW TO COMPOSE A PROGRAM ARE STORED IN SPACE AS ORGANIZED KNOWLEDGE SO THAT A PROGRAM OF HIGH EFFICIENCY CAN BE GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY FROM THE INPUTTED DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS. THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS CAN BE EXPECTED FROM USING SPACE:(1)IMPROVED DESIGN EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY BECAUSE THE DESIGNER USES A MOUSE AND A KEYBOARD FOR INPUT TO THE DESIGN FRAME ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. (2)A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT IN DESIGN RELIABILITY BECAUSE DESIGN ERRORS SUCH AS DEFICIENCIES AND CONTRADICTIONS ARE DETECTED. (3)A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT IN PROGRAM PRODUCTIVITY AND RELIABILITY BECAUSE PROGRAMMING HAS BEEN AUTOMATED. (4)A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT IN MAINTENANCE EFFICIENCY BECAUSE THERE IS NO NEED FOR MAINTAINING PROGRAMS AND ALSO DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS ARE EASY TO UNDERSTAND. AFTER APPLYING THE AFOREMENTIONED IMPROVEMENTS TO A COST DISTRIBUTION TABLE FOR PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT BY ACTIVITY, IT WAS FORECASTED THAT THE COST OF DEVELOPING A NEW PROGRAM COULD BE REDUCED BY ABOUT 60 PERCENT.
