Abstract
This paper presents a specification language approach to automatic
server code generation. The language we present has some similarities to the
compiler tools Lex and Yacc, and makes the generation of state machines and
parsing of server input simple. One of the main features of this new language
is that it can generate three different types of servers: process-based,
threaded, and event-driven. In addition, use of a server generation tool can
improve programming productivity, abstract away unnecessary details, and
eliminate certain classes of error.
