Motivation
----------
Modern modelling and software development needs software support
beyond that of simple editors and compilers. Often a model or software
piece can be generated from (fragments) of existing models or high level
codes. Software transformation systems are tools which are built for
such transformations. They range from specific tools for one purpose,
via simple pattern matching systems, to general transformation systems
which are easily programmed to do any reasonable transformation. Thus
the more general tools may be treated as meta-tools for generative
programming. They are currently playing a significant role in integrated
development environments (IDEs, e.g., Eclipse) and model driven
engineering (MDE).
Following on the success of STS'04 and STS'06, this workshop is once
again designed to bring together people working on software
transformation systems and those with an interest in software
transformation systems as a tool.
The workshop will this time to some extent focus on the relationship
between software transformation technologies and related technologies
such as reflection (supported, e.g., by Java), (template)
meta-programming (supported by C++), and staged programming languages.
We also want to look at the applications of transformation tools in IDEs
and MDE.
Workshop format
---------------
The workshop will have a small number of participants, around 20,
selected on the basis of short position papers submitted to the
organisers. The aim is to let people with different perspectives meet in
order to allow fruitful interaction.
Submission of intent to participate
-----------------------------------
If you find this workshop interesting you should send an e-mail to
sts08(a)ii.uib.no with your intent to participate and your area of
expertise/interest. Include a 2 page position paper if you want to give
a presentation. Space may be limited at the workshop, and preregistered
participants will be given priority.
All material must be received by the deadline. We prefer plain ISO or
UTF-8 documents (txt), but latex (only use standard packages) and pdf
formats are also acceptable.

CC 2009
International Conference on Compiler Construction
March 22-29, York, United Kingdom
Invited Speaker: Vivek Sarkar (Rice University, US)
Part of ETAPS 2009
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/etaps09/Conf/conf.html#cc
CC is a premier forum for presenting research on compilers
in the broadest possible sense, including run-time techniques,
programming tools, domain-specific languages, novel language
constructs and so on. In recent years CC has seen a healthy
increase in the number of submissions, in line with its broad
outlook; its typical acceptance rate is 20-25%. CC is part of
ETAPS, and this year it is held in York (UK), March 22-29 2009.
The program committee would particularly welcome
submissions from
researchers on transformation systems
on any topic relating to
program transformation
Abstracts are due on October 2, and the deadline for
full paper submission is October 9.
Prospective authors are welcome to contact the program
chairs, Michael Schwartzbach (mis(a)brics.dk) and Oege de Moor
(oege(a)comlab.ox.ac.uk) with any queries they might have.
