This volume aims to fill a current need of tutorial material on high-level language computer architecture. The first chapter presents a classification of high-level language computer architecture according to the proximity of the machine language and the programming language. This classification gives four types: von Neumann architecture, syntax-oriented architecture, indirect execution architecture, and direct execution architecture. In order to illustrate the possible evolution of computer architecture, design concepts of Japanese-language data processing systems are chosen as an example and present in the next chapter. The chapter by Carlson surveys the high-level language computer architecture. That by Doran describes the syntax-oriented architecture. The chapter by Laliotis is a tutorial on the historical symbol computer system that was developed by Fairchild Corporation and is now being evaluated by the Iowa State University. The Symbol system makes use of an indirect execution architecture. The chapter by Bloom presents design concepts of direct-execution architecture for the Algol 60 language. Lastly, the chapter by Robinet describes the architecture for the processor for an APL subset. and the programming language. This classicfication gives
