Dear Greg:

Thank you for your interest in our project.

Yes, there is a TAO project (Traversals as Objects) by Johan Ovlinger
and I proposed a project along your lines in:

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/lieber/ap-projects.html
100% Pure Java with Traversals

Please let us know whether you have something different in mind
and whether you would like to use such a facility with Demeter/Java
or Java.

SPSS has been around for a long time. Do you see some applications
in your business? I guess it would be useful to build statistical
models in an adaptive way.

PS. We are interested in collaborations with industry.

Dear Dr. Lieberherr,
I have pleasure and great interest in exploring your ideas of Adaptive
Programming and abilities of Demeter/Java in particular.
My question:
Did anybody think to avoid code generation for traversals and have
runtime support for traversals and visitors? I can think about some
cases when this ability is useful.
