Generative Programming and Active Libraries

Efficient Multimethods in a Single Dispatch Language

“…Generative programming [Czarnecki 2000] approaches have their place. Our efficient multiway dispatch code made use of this, allowing our reflective implementation to perform as well as hand-written code, without any changes to the Smalltalk virtual machine.…”

Requirement Analysis of Product Line Based Semantic Web Services

“…1. Extensions of feature diagram described in [11] have been used here. Variant features are also classified as Optional, Alternative and Or features.…”

The Elusive Search for Business Frameworks.

“…For example J2EE, .NET, CMS, eBusiness etc. are often called Application Frameworks [3] but in reality they are the infrastructure on which business applications/frameworks are constructed and contain very little, if any, application domain knowledge. They provide containers for business objects when augmented with patterns for constructing applications [8] [11].…”

“…Briefly we describe the key implementation techniques that are based on reflective engineering [12]. Reflective engineering includes a variety of techniques -Meta Programming, Table Driven Programming, Generative Programming [3], Aspect Oriented Software Development [12], Multi Dimensions of Concern [12] and Feature Oriented Programming [18]. Each if these approaches programmatically compose code fragments to produce the resulting program instance.…”
