Hi Artan:
Yes, this is a very interesting project and we have some technical
infrastructure that makes it easier. We have a cd for
Java so that you can work over your Java program using
adaptive techniques.
The cd is at:
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/sources/DemeterJava/examples/j-Java11/program.cd
It is probably good to use Google and search for "partial evaluation".
This is a partial evaluation project where you "freeze" class graphs
and strategies into your program.
I am very excited about your project.
Karl
