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
  Author's notification:          1 July 2003
  Special issue's publication:    End of 2003

The submissions should be sent in PS or PDF to the guest editor via
