An action semantics directed compiler generator

The ACTRESS project started at Glasgow University in 1989 and is based on the Ph.D. studies of two research students: Deryck Brown and Hermano Moura, both supervised by David A. Watt.
The project's aim was to implement a compiler generation system that would demonstrate the suitability of Action Semantics as the basis for generating efficient implementations.
