NDLI: Program generation, termination, and binding-time analysis

Abstract	Recent research suggests that the goal of fully automatic and reliable program generation for a broad range of applications is coming nearer to feasibility. However, several interesting and challenging problems remain to be solved before it becomes a reality.We first discuss the relations between problem specifications and their solutions in program form, and then narrow the discussion to an important special case: program transformation. Although the goal of fully automatic program generation is still far from fully achieved, there has been some success in a special case: partial evaluation, also known as program specialization.A key problem in all program generation is termination of the generation process. This paper (See the GPCE'02 proceedings for the full paper.} describes recent progress towards automatically solving the termination problem, first for individual programs, and then for specializers and "generating extensions," the program generators that most offline partial evaluators produce.
