Abstract Language workbenches are tools that provide high-level mechanisms for the
implementation of (domain-specific) languages. Language workbenches are an active area of …

Many automated software engineering tools require tight integration of techniques for source
code analysis and manipulation. State-of-the-art tools exist for both, but the domains have …

Abstract Language workbenches are environments for simplifying the creation and use of
computer languages. The annual Language Workbench Challenge (LWC) was launched in …

Rascal is a new language for meta-programming and is intended to solve problems in the
domain of source code analysis and transformation. In this article we give a high-level …

We show how under certain assumptions, the release and delivery of software updates can
be automated in the context of component-based systems. These updates allow features or …

All software evolves, and programming languages and programming language tools are no
exception. And just like in ordinary software construction, modular implementations can help …

Read-eval-print-loops (REPLs) allow programmers to test out snippets of code, explore APIs,
or even incrementally construct code, and get immediate feedback on their actions. …

Failing integration builds are show stoppers. Development activity is stalled because
developers have to wait with integrating new changes until the problem is fixed and a successful …

In component-based product populations, variability has to be described at the component
level to be able to benefit from a product family approach. As a consequence, composition of …

Digital forensics investigations often consist of analyzing large quantities of data. The software
tools used for analyzing such data are constantly evolving to cope with a multiplicity of …
