Special Issue on Program Transformation Science of Computer Programming Guest Editor Ralf Lämmel Call for contributions The special issue is devoted to `program transformation' in the broader context of software maintenance. That is, program transformation is meant here in the sense of automated program adaptation by executable transformations. Such transformations are used in software maintenance but also in software development in various ways, e.g., for refactoring, software migration, mass maintenance, change logging, schema evolution, aspect weaving, and others. The special issue seeks high-quality contributions studying the following dimensions of transformations: * formal aspects such as operator suites for transformations and their properties; * language design issues such as suitable language setups and meta-programming frameworks; * infra-structural issues such as the relation to front-ends, program analysis, interfaces; * software engineering aspects such as scaling, testing and maintaining transformations; * emerging fields such as unanticipated software evolution; * case studies such as lessons learned in large-scale transformation projects. Deadline for paper submissions: 1 April 2003 Author's notification: 1 July 2003 Special issue's publication: End of 2003 The submissions should be sent in PS or PDF to the guest editor via email.
