"Expressions"

At the Georgia Tech Mastermind meeting Monday, we talked briefly about
"expressions". From my understanding, these will eventually describe the
dynamics of data in MRL, and will be used both for boolean applicability
conditions and for describing simple changes to the objects.

I have developped and implemented one such language as part of my thesis
research, called the "Elements, Events & Transitions" language. The
implementation is in C++ and contains the langauge representation, a
parser, and an interpreter.

Documentation including examples in postscript are under "The Elements,
Events & Transitions Model" at the bottom of my home page:

So, take a look if you are interested - reusing or adapting my
"transitions" for your "expressions" may save a lot of effort.

Yours, cheers, Martin
