Open PROMOL: A Meta-Language for Heterogeneous Meta-Programming

Though other authors (see a review in [DKV00]) have suggested many interesting ideas, models and solutions, nevertheless, it was difficult to find a language at the time that would suit best for expressing explicitly the composition, modification and generalization simultaneously. As a consequence, we have designed the language Open PROMOL aiming at the development of generic specifications, which specify the wide range modifications of target language (also domain language) programs to support the design of generic components and generators. Our approach has some similarities and differences in the model as well as in the implemented concepts to Bassett’s frame commands [Bas97].
