Software Transformation Systems Workshop 2004

STS04 was arranged Sunday, October 24th 2004 as part of Generative Programming and Component Engineering 2004 (GPCE'04), Vancouver, Canada, October 2004. The workshop organisers were

• Magne Haveraaen, University of Bergen, Norway
• Jim Cordy, Queen's University, Canada
• Jan Heering, CWI, Amsterdam, Netherlands
• Ganesh Sittampalam, Oxford University, UK

The workshop attracted roughly 30 participants. The day was divided into 4 presentation sessions of 1.5 hours and a 1 hour discussion session at the end, giving room for 22 position papers, which were selected from roughly 30 submissions. Each presentation session had 5-6 presentations of 10 minutes each, and 1/2 hour for discussions. The discussions were based on research questions, one posed by each presenter.

The position papers are collected into a pdf file:
