The DTL language is the result of a combined study of data structured design methods and the use of concurrency as a high‐level structuring device. Programs written in DTL are regarded as translations from input streams to output streams. Such translations are specified by the use of attributed translation grammars. This paper describes the implementation of DTL via an abstract virtual machine.
