Course setup
In this seminar we will study different approaches to editing structured
documents and XML documents. Different kinds of structured documents
require different ways of editing. We will study several approaches, and
discuss their merits and problems. Possible topics are:
- Structure editors
- XML editors
- Invertible computations
- Bidirectional transformations
- MathML/ Amaya
- Pretty printing libraries
- Presentation languages
We will meet twice a week to talk about papers on the above topics, and
you will work on a project to be presented at the end of the seminar.

Individual assignments
A preliminary list of topics/extensions
We will introduce these projects at the first meeting(s). If you already know
what you want to do, or if you have questions about these projects, don't
hesitate to contact Martijn Schrage or Johan Jeuring.
Send us your preference on or before November 29, 2004.
Deliverables
