Abstract
Program transformation aims at producing efficient programs from lucid specifications or preliminary versions. Two classes of program transformations can be distinguished [Fea87]. The first class deals with automatic transformations. They are achieved mechanically and no external intervention is needed. Examples are compilation, transformations following a partial evaluation,.
