Automated Engineering Design

language (AED) (Or "ALGOL Extended for Design") A systems

language for the IBM 7090 and IBM 360 developed at MIT

System Laboratory ca. 1965 by a team led by Douglas T. Ross

(now at Softech). AED is an extension of ALGOL 60 with

records ("plexes"), pointers, and dynamic allocation.

DYNAMO II was written in AED, as was the first BCPL

compiler.

Versions: AED-0, AED-1, AED-JR.
