Title : From CENTAUR to ToolBus and beyond: the New Meta-Environment
Abstract :
The ASF+SDF Meta-Environment is an interactive development environment for the automatic generation of interactive systems for constructing language definitions and generating tools for them. The first version of the ASF+SDF Meta-Environment was built on top of CENTAUR. Over the years, the Meta-Environment system has been used in a variety of academic and commercial projects ranging from formal program manipulation to conversion of COBOL programs. Since the existing implementation of the Meta-Environment started exhibiting more and more characteristics of a legacy system, we decided to build a completely new, component-based, version. The design goals of the new implementation include: openness, reuse, extensibility, and in particular the possibility to generate complete stand-alone environments for user-defined languages. In this talk an overview of the architecture of the new ASF+SDF Meta-Environment will be given. The most important components, like parser and compiler, will be discussed in more detail. The underlying coordination architecture will be discussed and the consequences of using such an architecture on the overall design of the system. P> Retour au sommaire / Back to schedule
