Abstract
Automatic program synthesis is an active area of research since the early seventies. The application goal of program synthesis is to support human programmers in developing correct and efficient program code and in reasoning about programs. Program synthesis is the core of knowledge based software engineering. The second goal of program synthesis research is to gain more insight in the knowledge and strategies underlying the process of code generation. Developing algorithms for automatic program construction is therefore an area of artificial intelligence (AI) research and human programmers are studied in cognitive science research.
