Abstract: A computer system wherein object-oriented management techniques are used with a new means for generating code to provide for the automatic generation of source code. The invention includes three executable components: an inheritance engine that provides a detailed, fully inherited view of individual objects; an Operator Interface that allows a software Developer to provide a program specification; and a generator for generating source code for a computer system. The inheritance engine obtains objects from Design Knowledge Bases, Specification Knowledge Bases and Generation Knowledge Bases for the Generator. The Generator then operates on the objects to produce source code.
