Title: 1989 Rochester FORTH Conference on Industrial Automation, University of Rochester, NY, June 20-24, 1989, Proceedings

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6687430

Abstracts and papers are presented from a conference on the FORTH programming language and industrial automation, covering topics such as the use of FORTH in the Soviet Union and Germany, a FORTH-based development and simulation environment for industrial embedded controllers, FORTH-based control of an ion implanter, the Cellmate/TOOLBOX system for automotive and aerospace testing, industrial control by hierarchial decompositiion, machine vision, cross compiling, remote instrumentation in stellar horizon atmospheric dispersion measurements, and menu control. Additional topics include object oriented programming (OOP) systems, minimal OOP notation for FORTH, a vacuum-system controller, implementing record structures in FORTH, the Harris RTX 2000 C compiler, microballoon selection for laser fusion targets, engine development environments for industrial control, and hierarchial representation of binary image attributes. In addition, papers are presented on extending the FORTH environment to single chip microprocessors, easy Monte Carlo error analysis, a real-time visual langauge based on the FORTH stack concept, a two-color refractometry program, a FORTH-based man/maching interface for environmental control and monitoring, and fast time-resolved fluorescence data.
