-====== LARA: an aspect-oriented programming language for embedded systems ======
+====== LARA: a language for source-to-source compilation ======
 The development of applications for high-performance embedded systems is typically a long and error-prone process. In addition to the required functions, developers must consider various and often conflicting non-functional application requirements such as performance and energy efficiency. The complexity of this process is exacerbated by the multitude of target architectures and the associated retargetable mapping tools. This novel language introduces an Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) approach that conveys domain knowledge and non-functional requirements to optimizers and mapping tools. [[lara:lara|LARA]] allows the specification of compilation strategies to enable efficient generation of software code and hardware cores for alternative target architectures.

   * [[lara:tools:larac|LaraC]] - The LARA compiler which translates the LARA aspects, together with a target language specification, into an Aspect-Intermediate Representation (Aspect-IR). The generated Aspect-IR can be used by an interpreter to analyse the aspects and apply the defined strategies;
   * [[lara:tools:larai|LaraI]] - A LARA interpreter for the Aspect-IR. The default LaraI implementation can execute all the functionalities available in LARA language, with a limited language representation. This interpreter can be expanded in many ways, such as: the addition of new Java and JavaScript features; addition of LARA API strategies; use of a different weaving mechanism instead of the default one. This tool can be used to create new weaving environments with ease.
-  * [[lara:tools:weavergenerator|WeaverGenerator]] - The LARA weaver engine generator. According to a given input language specification, this tool generates a weaving environment that easily interfaces with LaraI  , providing the application of LARA in different environments and the easy update of new feature to the implemented weavers.
