Abstract

In this paper, we have shown how, starting from very elementary tools, one could construct a powerful type of abstract machine with its own language. Machines of this type are pratical enough to construct the remainder of SIMAC.

Through our approach, a machine can be looked upon as a network of other machines (its computing operators) synchronized by the processor and the controlling operator. Of course, this machine can, in turn, be used for further extensions.
