This thesis claims that contemporary data structures can be understood and studied with an intelligible model which captures their essential differences and similarities and, further, that such a model is an appropriate basis for a top-down description method for data structures. To define the scope of the model, the data structures included in 21 programming languages and data base management systems have been tabulated.

This mélange of data structures is divided into three classes (aggregates, associations , and files) and each …
