METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING TABLE PROCESSING PROGRAM

PURPOSE:To synthesize a complete program code, which is coincident with request information, by extracting suitable program parts from a meaning network knowledge base, in which the existent table processing program parts are accumulated, and matching an interface between the parts. CONSTITUTION:An inference processor 2 and a meaning network knowledge base 3 are provided and the table processing program, which is already prepared, is accumulated as the program parts in the expression of meaning network knowledge corresponding to a meaning network. By using the data type of a table writing item extracted from the request information, the suitable program parts are selected from the meaning network, in which the existent table processing program parts are accumulated, by pattern matching, and the interface state of a selected program parts group is decided. When there is mismatching, a mismatched part is corrected by inference and as the program parts group to be matched to the request information, the whole program code is generated from the group of these program parts. Thus, the table processing program can be efficiently generated.
