   Dear colleagues,
   
   We have a rather unusual PEM this week. Those who spend their time
   playing RPG's will enjoy this presentation by Alex van den Berg
   especially. In this DocGen demo RPG we will warp to corporate grounds.
   So polish your shoes, wear ties and practice your poker faces!

   Title:   DocGen Demo

   About a year ago the Software Improvement Group was founded as a
   spin-off of the CWI. In the past year we've been working with CWI on
   tranformation technology and the developed of DocGen from the initial
   CWI prototype.
   
   Along the way we've had a lot of contact with (potential) customers.
   One of the most important and fun things to do is to demo DocGen to
   the potential customer for the first time. Such a meeting involves a
   lot of questions and explanations by both sides which often results
   into new and interesting ideas or old frustrating issues. This PEM
   will be a demo of such an initial meeting. To improve the interaction
   we will use a role-playing game. I hope new ideas and possible
   research areas will surface.
   
   Have a nice day.

   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:
