)abbrev domain ROUTINE RoutinesTable
++ Author: Brian Dupee
++ Date Created: August 1994
++ Date Last Updated: December 1997
++ Description:
++ \axiomType{RoutinesTable} implements a database and associated tuning
++ mechanisms for a set of known NAG routines

RoutinesTable() : SIG == CODE where

  F  ==> Float
  ST  ==> String
  LST  ==> List String
  Rec  ==> Record(key:Symbol,entry:Any)
  RList  ==> List(Record(key:Symbol,entry:Any))
  IFL  ==> List(Record(ifail:Integer,instruction:ST))
  Entry  ==> Record(chapter:ST, type:ST, domainName: ST, 
                     defaultMin:F, measure:F, failList:IFL, explList:LST)

  SIG ==> TableAggregate(Symbol,Any) with

    concat : (%,%) -> %
      ++ concat(x,y) merges two tables x and y

    routines : () -> %
      ++ routines() initialises a database of known NAG routines

    selectIntegrationRoutines : % -> % 
      ++ selectIntegrationRoutines(R) chooses only those routines from 
      ++ the database which are for integration

    selectOptimizationRoutines : % -> % 
      ++ selectOptimizationRoutines(R) chooses only those routines from 
      ++ the database which are for integration

    selectPDERoutines : % -> % 
      ++ selectPDERoutines(R) chooses only those routines from the 
      ++ database which are for the solution of PDE's

    selectODEIVPRoutines : % -> % 
      ++ selectODEIVPRoutines(R) chooses only those routines from the 
      ++ database which are for the solution of ODE's

    selectFiniteRoutines : % -> % 
      ++ selectFiniteRoutines(R) chooses only those routines from the 
      ++ database which are designed for use with finite expressions

    selectSumOfSquaresRoutines : % -> % 
      ++ selectSumOfSquaresRoutines(R) chooses only those routines from the 
      ++ database which are designed for use with sums of squares

    selectNonFiniteRoutines : % -> % 
      ++ selectNonFiniteRoutines(R) chooses only those routines from the 
      ++ database which are designed for use with non-finite expressions.

    selectMultiDimensionalRoutines : % -> %
      ++ selectMultiDimensionalRoutines(R) chooses only those routines from 
      ++ the database which are designed for use with multi-dimensional
      ++ expressions

    changeThreshhold : (%,Symbol,F) -> %
      ++ changeThreshhold(R,s,newValue) changes the value below which, 
      ++ given a NAG routine generating a higher measure, the routines will 
      ++ make no attempt to generate a measure.

    changeMeasure : (%,Symbol,F) -> %
      ++ changeMeasure(R,s,newValue) changes the maximum value for a 
      ++ measure of the given NAG routine.

    getMeasure : (%,Symbol) -> F
      ++ getMeasure(R,s) gets the current value of the maximum measure for 
      ++ the given NAG routine.

    getExplanations : (%,ST) -> LST
      ++ getExplanations(R,s) gets explanations of the output parameters for 
      ++ the given NAG routine.

    deleteRoutine! : (%,Symbol) -> %
      ++ deleteRoutine!(R,s) destructively deletes the given routine from 
      ++ the current database of NAG routines

    showTheRoutinesTable : () -> %
      ++ showTheRoutinesTable() returns the current table of NAG routines.

    recoverAfterFail : (%,ST,Integer) ->  Union(ST,"failed")
      ++ recoverAfterFail(routs,routineName,ifailValue) acts on the 
      ++ instructions given by the ifail list

    finiteAggregate
