International workshop on software transformation systems (STS '99)

The international workshop on software transformation systems aims to bring together the most active researchers in the area of transformation systems so that a substantive evaluation and comparison of software transformation techniques can be made. Its purpose is to foster collaborations among researchers, opening up stronger communications channels between people interested in the topic and thereby, accelerating the maturation of the field. A retrospective analysis of the field and the common goals that the community should be addressing during the coming years, with emphasis on transferring the technology to the industrial mainstream, are discussed.
