Reflections on the Birth of Spoofax

Authors: Karl Trygve Kalleberg

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 109, Eelco Visser Commemorative Symposium (EVCS 2023)

Abstract

The Spoofax Language Workbench is one of the many successful research projects to come out of Eelco’s tremendously productive career, as evidenced by the Most Influential Paper designation awarded at OOPSLA 2020 to the famous 2010 paper by Lennart and Eelco [Lennart C. L. Kats and Eelco Visser, 2010]. In connection with the award, Eelco wrote an excellent retrospective [Eelco Visser, 2021]. Here, I will reflect briefly on the birth of the Spoofax, subject to omissions and inaccuracies, as the topic may be of interest to hardcore fans. Eelco was my PhD co-supervisor, and I was fortunate to be part of his group during the inception of the project.

Making Slicing Mainstream How can we be Weiser?

Authors: Karl Trygve Kalleberg, Tracy Hall, and Ran Ettinger

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5451, Beyond Program Slicing (2006)

Abstract

By now, the concept of program slicing has been known in the research community for around 25 years. As a research topic, it has enjoyed a fair share of popularity, evidenced by the number of articles published on the topic following Mark Weiser's seminal paper. However, outside research circles, program slicing appears to be virtually unknown. In this report, we take the premise that program slicing is both technically relevant, and has a sufficient theoretical foundation, to be applied in practice within the software industry. With this premise in mind, we ask ourselves, ``what are the mechanisms by which we as a community could make program slicing mainstream''?
