---++ Abstract
Maintenance of proprietary languages and corresponding tooling is expensive.
Postponing maintenance to reduce these costs is an often applied, short-term
solution which eventually may lead to an unoperational toolset. This paper
describes a case study carried out in cooperation with Lucent Technologies
where maintenance cost is decreased by simplifying the development process
of languages and tools. The development process is simplified by using a
language-centered software engineering approach which increases software
reuse and language dependent code generation. The case study was concerned
with Lucent's proprietary SDL dialect and involved the re-engineering of an
SDL grammar and the construction of an SDL documentation generator.
