Generation of Distributed Programming Environments

CVCS-225-86 .. This technical report consists of three related papers in the area of distributed programming environments. Incremental Attribute Evaluation in Distributed Language-Based Environments presents algorithms that extend existing technology for the generation of single-user languagebased editors from attribute grammars to the cases of multiple-user concurrent and distributed environments. Multi-User Distributed Language-Based Environment, an extended abstract, provides additional information on how to apply the algorithms. Reliability in Distributed Programming Environments presents additional algorithms that extend our results to unreliable networks. Pan of this research was conducted while Dr. Kaiser was a Visiting Computer Scientist at the Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh. PA.
