We would like to continue the successful conferences entirely devoted to attribute grammars (WAGA'90, Paris, SAGA'91, Prague and WAGA'99, Amsterdam). Many new attribute grammar systems and applications have been developed and concepts of attribute grammars have been merged with recently developed fields such as adaptive and generic programming. Attribute grammars are still the subject of active research and now find important, useful and practical applications in various areas such as domain specific languages, natural language processing, communication protocols, databases etc.

The aim of this one day workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry interested in the field of attribute grammars. The workshop welcomes contributions on all aspects of attribute grammars, with special emphasis on new applications of attribute grammars (outside compilation) and comparisons to other formalisms (action semantics, evolving algebra, denotational semantics, natural semantics, abstract interpretation), to technical standards (mark-up languages SGML and XML), and to programming languages (object-oriented programming, constraint logic programming, functional programming, adaptive programming, generic programming).

The proceedings of WAGA'00 are available here.
