Abstract

Working with High Assurance (HA) and Distributed, Real-time Embedded (DRE) applications, we have found numerous opportunities for software specialization. The problem has been that partial evaluation (PE) alone is insufficient to carry out all the useful forms of specialization that we envision. The contribution of this paper is to lay out a vision for the types of tool support, methods, specialization models, and specialization patterns that are needed to address these types of applications. Our goal is to start a conversation with researchers in this area in order to further develop this approach and help realize this vision.
