A framework for an application‐oriented language processor is described which is based on a series of independent modules operating in parallel. All intermodule communication is handled by means of monitor procedures. The way in which this allows modules to be added or removed at will is discussed, and the implications of this approach for adaptable processors are described, with particular reference to the numerical control of machine tools.
