The elimination of the function of the programmer-analyst is presented as a desirable goal. The modus operandi of the programmer-analyst is discussed and analogs suitable for implementation on a programmable device are presented. These analogs are embedded in a computer simulation and tested. Problem areas are discussed and further areas of investigation are suggested.Report
