Paradigm for programming computers

The programming of computers can be seen as a communication from a human to a machine; in the usual model, the human conceives something and the computer executes in accordance. Applying the method of the analysis (dividing something in parts that can be handled with more ease) to the conception, two phases can be delineated: (1) modeling; and (2) indication of what is wanted in that model. For indicating to a computer what is wanted, programming languages and tools are available; the phase of the modeling is the subject of this paper.<>
