Robert Glück, Andrei V. Klimov. A Regeneration Scheme for Generating Extensions. Inf. Process. Lett., 62(3):127-134, 1997. [doi]
A regeneration scheme is presented which shows how to change the computation staging of a generating extension by a two-level metasystem structure using program specialization and program composition. From the results described in this paper we can see that program generation and program degeneration are two extremes of the same transformation dimension; this relates several well-known program transformations under a general scheme.
