The aim of this International Workshop on Attribute Grammars and their Applications (WAGA), the first to be entirely devoted to this topic, was to show that they are still the subject of active research and now lead to important, useful and practical applications in various areas.

The genesis of attribute grammars.- The hierarchy of LR-attributed grammars.- Space optimization in the FNC-2 attribute grammar system.- Counting polyominoes using attribute grammars.- Parallel attribute evaluation: structure of evaluators and detection of paralleism.- Parallel one-pass compilation.- Attribute grammar applications in prototyping LOTOS tools.- Rapid development of a program transformation system with attribute grammars and dynamic transformations.- Tree transformations, functional languages, and attribute grammars.- The project on Extended Affix Grammars at Nijmegen.- Abstract interpretation using attribute grammars.- Functional evaluation of strongly non circular typol specifications.- Object oriented extension of attribute grammars and its implementation using distributed attribute evaluation algorithm.- Incremental attribute evaluation for multiple subtree replacements in structure-oriented environments.- Coordinated incremental attribute evaluation on a DR-threaded tree.- The OLGA attribute grammar description language: Design, implementation and evaluation.- The Elegant compiler generator system.- Use of attribute grammars in compiler construction.- An OPTRAN-generated front-end for Ada.- Attributed translation and the semantics of natural language.- Application of attribute grammars to natural language sentence generation.- Attribute grammar specification for a natural language understanding interface.- Globally partitionable attribute grammars.- Concurrent incremental attribute evaluation.
