Gyorgy Orosz and Melinda Toth Eotves Lorand University of Hungary and University of Kent, UK Abstract:Refactoring is the process of improving the design of a program without changing its semantics. Wrangler is a refactor tool for Erlang, which supports plenty of refactorings. After giving a short introduction to the Wrangler project, Melinda will explain her goal of finding new useful refactorings and implement them. These include a refactoring to group function arguments into a tuple, and a refactoring to create a record from a tuple. This latter refactoring requires investigation of common usage patters for "record-like" usage of patterns in Erlang programs. George will then describe his project of integrating Wrangler in the Eclipse platform, as a part of the Erlide project. He will describe the integration process, how communication works in the system, as well as providing a short demo of the system as well.
