   Dear colleagues,

   Next  Friday  we  welcome  a  guest  from Portugal. You are invited to
   attend his presentation.

      A Run-time Feature Realization Approach based on Domain-Specific
                                 Platforms

   Date:     2.07.04
   Time:    13:30
   Venue:   M279
   Speaker: Alexandre Braganca
   Title:   A Run-time Feature Realization Approach based on Domain-Specific Pl
atforms

   The  reuse approach to software engineering has been widely adopted in
   the  software  industry.  In  order  to  implement  such  an approach,
   variability   realization  mechanisms  are  needed.  These  allow  the
   implementation  of  the variants in a product line, and can be applied
   at  several  stages  in  the  software  development  process. If these
   mechanisms  are  used  at later stages of the development process, the
   resulting  applications  will  exhibit a higher degree of variability.
   This  is  the  case of I2S, a Portuguese software house specialized in
   software solutions for the insurance industry. Resulting from the need
   to  handle specific requirements from almost all of its customers, and
   because  of  the  nature  of  the  insurance  domain,  the company has
   developed  an approach based on a domain-specific language. We present
   the  work we have done at I2S, within the context of our PhD research,
   extending the I2S DSL approach to a domain-specific platform approach.

   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:
