Please excuse a small moment of self-publicity, but readers of this list may well be interested in the following new book:
Generating Software from Specifications Uwe Kastens, Anthony Sloane, William Waite Jones and Bartlett, MA, USA January 2007
Blurb: "Generating Software From Specifications discusses how to leverage existing generation technology to achieve software reuse and thereby reduce the cost and improve the reliability of software. The authors approach can be applied incrementally, without disrupting current projects or requiring changes in existing programs or methodology. Robust, public-domain tools are available to support these component-based software development techniques on a number of levels, from simple turn key operations to custom software generation."
The book is based on our experiences from creating and using the Eli Language Processor Generation System over almost twenty years. Examples and case studies are drawn from the Eli system, but the techniques discussed can be applied in a large variety of settings.
