Cinnamons: A Computation Model Underlying Control Network Programming
We give the easily recognizable name "cinnamon" and "cinnamon programming" to
a new computation model intended to form a theoretical foundation for Control
Network Programming (CNP). CNP has established itself as a programming paradigm
combining declarative and imperative features, built-in search engine, powerful
tools for search control that allow easy, intuitive, visual development of
heuristic, nondeterministic, and randomized solutions. We define rigorously the
syntax and semantics of the new model of computation, at the same time trying
to keep clear the intuition behind and to include enough examples. The
purposely simplified theoretical model is then compared to both WHILE-programs
(thus demonstrating its Turing-completeness), and the "real" CNP. Finally,
future research possibilities are mentioned that would eventually extend the
cinnamon programming into the directions of nondeterminism, randomness, and
fuzziness.Comment: 7th Intl Conf. on Computer Science, Engineering & Applications
