ModelBased.net  www.modelbased.net Dedicated to tools and information related to model-driven system development, aiming at supporting OMG's vision of MDA.

The Program Generator Generator  www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/proglang/software/pgg A partial evaluation system for Scheme: Given a program P and a specification of which of the inputs are known in advance, PGG outputs a program generator which accepts the known inputs of P and outputs a specialized version of P.

Todd Veldhuizen @ Chalmers  www.cs.chalmers.se/~tveldhui Has study, Active Libraries and Universal Languages, on libraries active in compiling; rather than make unique languages for each purpose, build libraries to give domain-specific syntax, optimizations, safety checking; extant languages and compilers lack abilities needed for this.

Are You Missing out on Code Generation?  www.devx.com/java/article/15511 Writing EJBs by hand wastes effort and time; using the passive wizards in today's IDEs is as bad. Solution: use active code generation. Learn why this is a good idea despite the FUD against it. DevX. (April 29, 2003)
