User-defined functions in the Arden Syntax: An extension proposal

作者：

Highlights：

• We studied the rationale behind the Arden Syntax concepts related to functions.

• We confronted the Arden Syntax model with some functional programming models.

• We propose an extension that allows an author to safely define and use functions.

• We give examples of possible Arden Syntax constructs augmented with functions.
