Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of real-time programming languages that are finding increasing acceptance in process control applications. Major concepts and notations of high-level languages and concurrent programming are discussed and their implementations in Concurrent Pascal, Modula-2 and Ada are described. The programming language FORTH is also presented. Although a nonconcurrent language, FORTH contains certain features which facilitate the construction of software for process control. Examples from Concurrent Pascal, Ada and FORTH are given.
