                     Turning DocGen into a Product Line

   Date:    21.03.02
   Time:    10:00
   Venue:   C0.01
   Speaker: Merijn de Jonge
   Title:   Turning DocGen into a Product Line

   The  number of companies to which DocGen is delivered is growing as is
   the  number  of programming languages that is supported. Customers may
   require  specific  adaptions  to DocGen and each of them may introduce
   new  functionality.  This increasing number of variation points in the
   DocGen  application  is  causing serious configuration and development
   problems.

   In this talk, we discuss techniques for modelling the variation points
   of  DocGen, as well as techniques for expressing and validating DocGen
   configurations.  We  describe  techniques  that automatically map such
   configurations  to corresponding implementations, including techniques
   for  product assembly from source packages, build time reflection, and
   customer  specializations.  Moreover,  we  describe  how  to use these
   mechanisms  in  order to initiate and evolve a DocGen product line. We
   demonstrate these techniques using a prototype DocGen product line.

   joint work with Arie van Deursen and Tobias Kuipers

   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:
