The Program Transformation Wiki

Program transformation techniques are used in a many areas of software engineering ranging from program synthesis, via program optimization and program refactoring, to reverse engineering and documentation generation. Many theories, tools and applications have been developed over the last 30 years. Often the results of these efforts are used only in the community that developed them.

Program-transformation.org is dedicated to collecting, organizing and disseminating information about all aspects of program transformation in order to share results across communities. Such an effort cannot possibly be achieved by a static web site. Therefore, this site is based on TWiki, a system for collaborative web development. This means that you cannot only read information about program transformation, but also contribute to this site by editing pages and by adding new pages. OneMinuteWiki explains how wiki works. -- EelcoVisser & ArieVanDeursen

Collections

The following pages are systematic collections of resources in the area of program transformation:

Tools

Program-transformation.org hosts a number of sub-sites featuring special areas of ProgramTransformation or documenting specific TransformationSystems:

EXECryptor: a bulletproof software protection system to prevent applications cracks, reverseengineering and piracy.

Stratego: a language for strategic rewriting
SDF: modular syntax definition formalism
XTRAN: An expert system for manipulating computer languages
RigiSystem: a reverse engineering system to extract, navigate, analyze and document the static structure of large software systems.

History

ProgramTransformationOrg was founded in April 2000 by EelcoVisser. WebNews keeps track of important changes on the site. A more detailed view of all changes in the pages is available in WebChanges.
