Eclipse Modeling Project Focuses on evolving and promoting model-based development technologies by providing unified set of modeling frameworks, tooling, standards implementations; EMF, modeling framework and code generator to build tools and other programs based on structured data model. Descriptions, documents, downloads. http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/

ModelBased.net Dedicated to tools and information related to model-driven system development, aiming at supporting OMG's vision of MDA. http://www.modelbased.net/

The Program Generator Generator A partial evaluation system for Scheme: Given a program P and a specification of which of the inputs are known in advance, PGG outputs a program generator which accepts the known inputs of P and outputs a specialized version of P. http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/proglang/software/pgg/

Tim Sheard's Page Researches the design, implementation, use of metaprogramming systems, created MetaML, many links on functional metaprogramming, NSF papers. Portland State University, Computer Science Department. http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~sheard/

Todd Veldhuizen @ Chalmers Has study, Active Libraries and Universal Languages, on libraries active in compiling; rather than make unique languages for each purpose, build libraries to give domain-specific syntax, optimizations, safety checking; extant languages and compilers lack abilities needed for this. http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~tveldhui/

The Art of Metaprogramming, Part 3: Enterprise Metaprogramming Methods and uses of metaprogramming in Scheme language, how macros are programmed and can make large-scale programming easier. Explores limits of metaprogramming, describes MDA and problems it solves, short example of text system using MDA. IBM developerWorks.

The Art of Metaprogramming, Part 2: Metaprogramming Using Scheme Methods and uses of metaprogramming in Scheme programming language, see how macros are programmed and how they can make large-scale programming tasks easier.

The Art of Metaprogramming, Part 1: Introduction to Metaprogramming An under-used programming technique is writing programs that generate programs or program parts. Covers: why metaprogramming is needed, some components of it, building a code generator; language-sensitive macro programming in Scheme. IBM developerWorks.

Are You Missing out on Code Generation? Writing EJBs by hand wastes effort and time; using the passive wizards in today's IDEs is as bad. Solution: use active code generation. Learn why this is a good idea despite the FUD against it. DevX. (April 29, 2003) http://www.devx.com/java/article/15511/
