This book identifies, defines and illustrates the fundamental concepts and engineering techniques relevant to applications of software languages in software development. It presents software languages primarily from a software engineering perspective, i.e., it addresses how to parse, analyze, transform, generate, format, and otherwise process software artifacts in different software languages, as they appear in software development. To this end, it covers a wide range of software languages – most notably programming languages, domain-specific languages, modeling languages, exchange formats, and specifically also language definition languages. Further, different languages are leveraged to illustrate software language engineering concepts and techniques. The functional programming language Haskell dominates the book, while the mainstream programming languages Python and Java are additionally used for illustration.By doing this, the book collects and organizes scattered knowledge from software language engineering, focusing on application areas such as software analysis (software reverse engineering), software transformation (software re-engineering), software composition (modularity), and domain-specific languages. It is designed as a textbook for independent study as well as for bachelor’s (advanced level) or master’s university courses in Computer Science. An additional website provides complementary material, for example, lecture slides and videos.This book is a valuable resource for anyone wanting to understand the fundamental concepts and important engineering principles underlying software languages, allowing them to acquire much of the operational intelligence needed for dealing with software languages in software development practice. This is an important skill set for software engineers, as languages are increasingly permeating software development.

This tutorial volume includes the revised and extended tutorials (briefings) held at the 5th International Summer School on Grand Timely Topics in Software Engineering, GTTSE 2015, in Braga, Portugal, in August 2015.

This tutorial book presents an augmented selection of material presented at the International Summer School on Generative and Transformational Techniques in Software Engineering, GTTSE 2005. The book comprises 7 tutorial lectures presented together with 8 technology presentations and 6 contributions to the participants workshop. The tutorials combine foundations, methods, examples, and tool support. Subjects covered include feature-oriented programming and the AHEAD tool suite; program transformation with reflection and aspect-oriented programming, and more.

The second instance of the international summer school on Generative and Transformational Techniques in Software Engineering (GTTSE 2007) was held in Braga, Portugal, during July 2–7, 2007. This volume contains an augmented selection of the material presented at the school, including full tutorials, short tutorials, and contributions to the participants workshop. The GTTSE summer school series brings together PhD students, lecturers, technology presenters, as well as other researchers and practitioners who are interested in the generation and the transformation of programs, data, models, metamodels, documentation, and entire software systems. This concerns many areas of software engineering: software reverse and re-engineering, model-driven engineering, automated software engineering, generic language technology, to name a few. These areas di?er with regard to the speci?c sorts of metamodels (or grammars, schemas, formats etc.) that underlie the involved artifacts, and with regard to the speci?c techniques that are employed for the generation and the transformation of the artifacts. The ?rst instance of the school was held in 2005 and its proceedings appeared as volume 4143 in the LNCS series.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the First International Conference on Software Language Engineering, SLE 2008, held in Toulouse, France, in September 2008. The 16 revised full papers and 1 revised short paper presented together with 1 tool demonstration paper and 2 keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 106 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on language and tool analysis and evaluation, concrete and abstract syntax, language engineering techniques, language integration and transformation, language implementation and analysis, as well as language engineering pearls.

This tutorial book presents revised and extended lecture notes for a selection of the contributions presented at the International Summer School on Generative and Transformational Techniques in Software Engineering (GTTSE 2009), which was held in Braga, Portugal, in July 2009.
