Computational Design (CD) is a paradigm where both program design
and program synthesis are computations. CD merges Model Driven Engineering
(MDE) which synthesizes programs by transforming models, with Software
Product Lines (SPL) where programs are synthesized by composing transformations
called features. In this paper, basic relationships between MDE and SPL
are explored using the language of modern mathematics.

D. Batory. Program Refactorings, Program Synthesis, and Model-Driven Design . Keynote at European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS) Compiler Construction Conference, April 2007.
Program refactoring, feature-based and aspect-oriented software synthesis, and model-driven development are disjoint research areas. However, they are all architectural metaprogramming technologies as they treat programs as values and use functions (a.k.a. transformations) to map programs to other programs. In this paper, I explore their underlying connections by reviewing recent advances in each area from an architectural metaprogramming perspective. I conjecture how these areas can converge and outline a theory that may unify them.

D. Batory, J.N. Sarvela, and A. Rauschmayer. Scaling Step-Wise Refinement , IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (IEEE TSE), June 2004. This is a journal version of our 2002 ICSE paper
Step-wise refinement is a powerful paradigm for developing a complex program from a simple program by adding features incrementally. We present the AHEAD (Algebraic Hierarchical Equations for Application Design) model that shows how step-wise refinement scales to synthesize multiple programs and multiple noncode representations. AHEAD shows that software can have an elegant, hierarchical mathematical structure that is expressible as nested sets of equations. We review a tool set that supports AHEAD. As a demonstration of its viability, we have bootstrapped AHEAD tools from equational specifications, refining Java and non-Java artifacts automatically; a task that was accomplished only by ad hoc means previously
