Automated source code transformations on fourth generation languages

2004

To control the operation of large application suites or to tailor a special purpose application to particular need, developers frequently use application specific languages, such as batch, scripting, and query languages. These languages which are also referred to as fourth generation languages (4GLs) therefore play an important role in today's economy. Incompatibilities between different versions of 4GLs and changing requirements may make massive changes on a company's library of 4GL programs necessary. Here, we explore possibilities for performing mass changes on 4GLs and show how the transformation of programs written in 4GLs compares to the transformation of mainstream programming langua…

Tree Based Domain-Specific Mapping Languages

2012

Model transformation languages have been mainly used by researchers --- the software engineering industry has not yet widely accepted the model driven software development (MDSD). One of the main reasons is the complexity of metamodelling principles the developers are required to know to actually use model transformations in the way the OMG has stated. We offer the basic principles how to create domain-specific model transformation languages which can be used by developers relying only on familiar modelling concepts. We propose to use simple graphical mappings to specify the correspondence between source and target models which are represented using trees based on the concrete syntax of und…

Another defence of enumerated types

1991

I claim that enumerations, while of course not strictly necessary, are an elegant and useful facility in modern programming languages. I try to show that arguments recently given against them are weak at best and bogus a t worst, for general-purpose programming. Some related issues on types in programming languages are touched as well. These make it even more questionable whether Oberon marks progress or regress in language design.
