META: The Mother of all Languages.
Sponsor: Professor Susan M. Haynes

META is a programming language used to help develop new programming languages. This presentation gives a design overview of META's development including: the components of a compiler, regular expressions (RE), non-deterministic finite automata (NFA), deterministic finite automata (DFA), META's syntax, and examples of why we may want to design new languages.
