Abstract
Programming languages are usually divided into four generations. The first generation is the machine languages, where programmers have to write each binary-coded machine instruction. Binary coding is voluminous and laborious to write, and the programs are difficult to read and maintain, and highly machine dependent.
Jarle Aaram holds an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH). During 1974–1976 he worked in industry on development and maintenance of computer systems for finite element analysis. As from 1976 he has worked as a scientist at the Production Management Section of Production Engineering Laboratory NTH-SINTEF.
