Abstract	Advanced programming environments being developed to support ambitious program optimization and parallelization will perform extensive program analysis to gather facts used in performing complex program transformations. The need for timely response to the programmer's incremental modifications suggests that the program analysis database and transformed program be updated incrementally. Hand-coding these systems in conventional programming languages is both tedious and error prone. This paper presents a phase-oriented approach to incremental transformation system development in which transformations and analyses are separated into phases that interact only through explicit transmission of data. We will demonstrate how this approach can be applied within an attribute grammar setting in which a transformation system is non- procedurally specified and then automatically generated from its specification. Through the description of an incremental optimizer and an incremental parallelizing tool we demonstrate how this approach significantly simplifies the modification and extension of incremental transformation systems.
