			SPECIAL SEMINAR

Topic:    OVERVIEW OF THE MENTOR SYSTEM
Speaker:  Bernard Lang, INRIA
Place:    WeH 8220
Date:     Monday, June 30
Time:     11:00am - 12:00noon


Mentor is a structured document manipulation system based on a 
representation of documents as abstract syntax trees.  After an 
overview of the first implementation of Mentor and of the experience 
acquired with its use for the development and maintenance of programs
and languages, we shall present some of the new developments underway.

A new version of the system is now being developed in a Lisp dialect
(Le_Lisp) in an object oriented style, with a strong emphasis on the 
realisation of a complete kernel for abstract syntax tree manipulation
(user interfaces being developed independantly).  The language Typol
for semantics specification, and the language PPML for pretty-printers 
specification shall be briefly introduced.
