Abstract

There are various theoretical and practical approaches to single out fundamental concepts and issues of programming in the research of Program Development Methodology and Automatic Programming. We can observe that the current program development methods have been directed towards semantics-based programming to seek basic disciplines of programming processes and semantic frameworks. However none of them gives a general and reasonable framework, since any current programming methodology does not employ a general semantic discipline for program derivation, manipulation and understanding. In this article we discuss a framework of complementary programming as a modest proposal for reliable/semantics-based programming.
