Update Programming


Project Description

This project is concerned with the application of program transformation and meta programming techniques to the problem of software maintenance and reuse. Our goal is to develop languages in which update programs can be written that can perform software changes automatically. An important aspect is that these update programs should preserve properties of the programs they change, such as syntax or type correctness.
