Description
We summarize in this paper the principles for the algorithmic representation of the structure of a stellar atmosphere. The physical analysis of the problem leads to the classification of the elementary blocks that constitute a stellar atmosphere model and suggest the numerical algorithms required for its computation. Compatibly with the space allotted, we review our progress in the treatment of the basic components of an LTE stellar atmosphere model, and show a significant preliminary result.
