                                SGLR in Java

   Date:    17.03.05
   Time:    09:30
   Venue:   H220 (Nikhef)
   Speaker: Cathal Boogerd
   Title:   SGLR in Java

   The  current  implementation  of the Scannerless Generalized LR parser
   used  in  the  Meta  Environment  is  not an appealing tool for use in
   experiments.  The  many  optimizations applied and features added make
   extending  it  a difficult task. Moreover, within the Meta-Environment
   there  is  a  general inclination toward Java, so it is important that
   SGLR  too takes this step. Therefore, a new implementation of SGLR was
   written  in  Java,  taking  particular  care  to create a flexible and
   extensible  structure.  As  a proof of concept, the new implementation
   was  extended  with  the  hybrid technique used in the Elkhound parser
   generator.

   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:
