Session III Structured Programming: Problems, Approaches, and Techniques

The third session dealt with the problems, approaches, and techniques associated with the advancement, development, and implementation of structured programming. The two papers that follow are typical of ideas presented during this session. "Structured Programming: Agony and/or Ecstasy," by John Brown, provides some practical guidelines for introducing any software discipline into an organization. He makes a strong case for a business-like approach–i.e., enlightened management committed to well-defined objectives.
