Abstract
Grammars for programming languages are traditionally specified statically. They are hard to compose and reuse due to ambiguities that inevitably arise. PetitParser combines ideas from scannerless parsing, parser combinators, parsing expression grammars and packrat parsers to model grammars and parsers as objects that can be reconfigured dynamically. Through examples and benchmarks we demonstrate that dynamic grammars are not only flexible but highly practical.

Most of my early papers are related to my PhD thesis and deal with evolution analysis.

The essence of my PhD can be found in a journal article published in JSME.

Since 2005 I got involved in various projects and I co-authored publications on topics mostly in the reengineering area.

We reported on the Story of the Moose and the role of Smalltalk and meta-modeling in its development.

Other works relate to semantic analysis or dynamic analysis. A particular topic that continues to capture my attention is identifying how teams work. Thus, I worked on correlating authorship information with code duplication or feature development

I also got involved in dynamic analysis. I worked on identifying features and their evolution, and I participated in the development of object-flow analysis, a novel dynamic analysis that led to a publication that received the distinguished paper award at ECOOP 2008.

Visualization and interaction are crosscutting concerns in my research. The experience resulted in the development of Mondrian, and of Glamour.
