Partial evaluation : concepts and applications / Torben Æ. Mogensen -- An introduction to online and offline partial evaluation using a simple flowchart language / John Hatcliff -- Similix : a self-applicable partial evaluator for scheme / Jesper Jørgensen -- C-Mix : specialization of C programs / Arne John Glenstrup, Henning Makholm, and Jens Peter Secher -- Logic program specialisation / Michael Leuschel -- Inherited limits / Torben Æ. Mogensen -- Partial evaluation for the lambda calculus / Neil D. Jones, Carsten K. Gomard, Peter Sestoft -- Partial evaluation of hardware / Satnam Singh and Nicholas McKay -- Partial evaluation in aircraft crew planning / Lennart Augustsson -- Introduction to supercompilation / Morten Heine B. Sørensen and Robert Glück -- Advanced logic program specialisation / Michael Leuschel -- A type specialisation tutorial / John Hughes -- Multi-level specialization / Robert Glück and Jesper Jørgensen -- Faster Fourier transforms via automatic program specialization / Julia L.

Summary: As the complexity of software increases, researchers and practicioners continue to seek better techniques for engineering the construction of evolution of software. Partial evaluation is an attractive technology for modern software construction since it provides automatic tools for software specialization and is based on rigorous semantic foundations. This book is based on a school held at DIKU Copenhagen, Denmark in summer 1998 during which leading researchers summarized the state of the art in partial evaluation. The lectures presented survey the foundations of partial evaluation in a clear and rigorous manner and practically introduce several existing partial evaluators with numerous examples. The second part of the book is devoted to more sophisticated theoretical aspects, advances systems and applications, and highlights open problems and challenges. The book is ideally suited for advanced courses and for self study.
