   Dear Environmentalists,

   This  weeks  talk  is  by  Eggie  van  Buiten,  on  Program Tranformer
   Generation.

   It  will be the last PEM of 1998. The PEM will take two weeks off, and
   return with new and improved ideas on January 7, 1999.

   Your  friendly  PEM  organizer  wishes  you  all  a  nice,  warm, cold
   (depending on where you are) and happy Christmas & New Year.

        Generating Program Transformers and Analyzers from a Grammar

   Date:    17.12.98
   Time:    10:00
   Venue:   M2.79, CWI
   Speaker: Eggie van Buiten
   Title:   Generating Program Transformers and Analyzers from a Grammar

   In  the  re-engineering  area,  many problems deal with questions like
   `how   can   transform  program  "x",  written  in  language  "l",  be
   restructured to program "x'" (also written in language "l")', `how can
   analysis  program  "x", written in language "l", be processed to get a
   metric "m".

   Most  of  these  problems  require  a more sophisticated approach than
   hacking a perl program or `grepping' a file with a regular expression.

   In  this  talk,  I  shall  describe  how,  given  a  SDF  grammar of a
   (programming)  language "l", ASF+SDF specifications of transformation-
   and  analysis  tool can be generated that have a default behaviour and
   how,  by  overruling this default behaviour, specific transformers and
   analysers can be created `on the fly'.

   The  programming environment meetings are a forum for the presentation
   and  discussion  of  new  ideas,  ongoing and finished work. A typical
   meeting  addresses  a subject in the area of programming environments,
   program  generation, algebraic specification, term rewriting, parsing,
   etc.  A presentation ideally takes between 45 and 90 minutes. Meetings
   taking  longer  than 45 minutes are interrupted by a coffeebreak. Most
   Thursdays,  a  meeting is held which starts at 10:00 am. in one of the
   rooms at CWI/WINS. Exceptionally, dates or times may change.

   The    program    of    the    meetings    is    available   on   WWW:
