Special Issue on Program Transformation
Science of Computer Programming
Guest Editor Ralf L�mmel
Call for contributions
The special issue is devoted to `program transformation' in the broader
context of software maintenance. That is, program transformation is
meant here in the sense of automated program adaptation by executable
transformations. Such transformations are used in software maintenance
but also in software development in various ways, e.g., for refactoring,
software migration, mass maintenance, change logging, schema evolution,
aspect weaving, and others. The special issue seeks high-quality
contributions studying the following dimensions of transformations:
* formal aspects
such as operator suites for transformations and their properties;
* language design issues
such as suitable language setups and meta-programming frameworks;
* infra-structural issues
such as the relation to front-ends, program analysis, interfaces;
* software engineering aspects
such as scaling, testing and maintaining transformations;
* emerging fields
such as unanticipated software evolution;
* case studies
such as lessons learned in large-scale transformation projects.
Deadline for paper submissions: 1 April 2003
