Transformations in CASE tools-A compiler view

A traditional compiler architecture is used to discuss how a transformations component can be integrated in CASE tools. The architecture outlines some general requirements to the transformation component as well as to the source and the target language. To illustrate this approach, the PPP (Phenomena, Processes, and Programs) environment is presented. Within this environment, several transformations from PPP models to programs have been implemented. A specific transformation from PPP models to TEQUEL/C is discussed with reference to the compiler architecture.
