Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are languages tailored to a specific application domain.
They offer substantial gains in expressiveness and ease of use compared with general …

In the last ten years the study of meta-programming systems, as formal systems worthy of
study in their own right, has vastly accelerated. In that time a lot has been accomplished, yet …

The Internet's core routing infrastructure, while arguably robust and efficient, has proven to
be difficult to evolve to accommodate the needs of new applications. Prior research on this …

PLAN (Packet Language for Active Networks) is a new language for programs that form the
packets of a programmable network. These programs replace the packet headers (which …

Building a flexible kernel from components is a promising solution for supporting various
embedded systems. The use of components encourages code re-use and reduces …

We present the design of DyC, a dynamic-compilation system for C based on run-time
specialization. Directed by a few declarative user annotations that specify the variables and …

Domain-specific languages (DSL) have many potential advantages in terms of software
engineering, ranging from increased productivity to the application of formal methods …

Domain-specific languages (DSLs) can be viewed from both a programming language and
a software architecture perspective. The goal of this paper is to relate the two viewpoints. In …

Specialization is an automatic approach to customizing a program with respect to
configuration values. In this paper, we present a survey of Tempo, a specializer for the C …

Multimedia stream processing is a rapidly evolving domain which requires much software
development and expects high performance. Developing a streaming application often …
