Abstract
A language is proposed for the design of any network, using interactive graphics as an aid to the design process. The language, NOL-1, is a higher level problem-oriented programming language. It is based on the network definition language NEDLAN (see [1] and [8]) and associated mechanisms, and it incorporates definition, decision and control, dynamic graphical input and output and analysis statements.
Combining all these statement types with due regard to ergonomic factors in the use of interactive graphics for designing networks, a network-oriented higher level language to be used with interactive graphics is obtained.
