Scripting language for distributed application design

Abstract

Scripting Languages are often used in order to assist the user in repetitious tasks or when smaller program logics shall be expressed. Normally a scripting language is easier to learn than a programming language so that a wide range of professional developers and end users can use the language for its specific tasks. This paper introduces a specific, small scripting language supporting the deployment of programs as well as the test of distributed control systems. In contrast to existing scripting languages, the language comprises only the required set of instructions and is not too complex and therefore easy to maintain.
