Aspect and XML-oriented Semantic Framework Generator: SmartTools

SmartTools is a semanti framework generator, based on XML and obje t te hnologies. Thanks to a pro ess of automati generation from spe i ations, SmartTools makes it possible to qui kly develop environments dedi ated to domain-spe i and programming languages. Some of these spe i ations (XML, DTD, S hemas, XSLT) are issued from the W3C whi h is an important sour e of varied emerging domain-spe i languages. SmartTools uses obje t te hnologies su h as visitor patterns and aspe t-oriented programming. It provides ode generation adapted to the usage of those te hnologies to support the development of semanti analyses. In this way, we obtain at minimal ost the design and implementation of a modular development platform whi h is open, intera tive, uniform, and most important prone to evolution.
