Abstract

Interfaces are software packages that are used alone or in conjunction with other interfaces to transfer data from one representation to another. Constructing such interfaces is a time consuming and often complex task primarily because of the diverse representation of data. In this paper the author describes his experiences of combining the use of software tools such as bison, flex, and rosy within a new tool a2b to generate interfaces from formal specifications of data transfers.
