    Hi Nouha,

    To get an overview in terms of systems, a possible starting point
    is:

    Bolc L., K. Czuba, A. Kupsc, M. Marciniak, A. Mykowiecka and A.
    Przepiorkowski, 1996 A Survey of Systems for Implementing HPSG
    Grammars. Technical Report nr 814. Polish Academy of Sciences,
    Institute of Computer Science, Warsaw.
    http://www.ipipan.waw.pl/~aniak/papers/systems-wide.ps.gz

    As for current parser-based systems, apart from the Lingo/LKB effort
    Gregor mentioned, you might want to check out the ALE system of
    Gerald Penn at http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~gpenn/ale.html Some
    related issues are discussed in my paper "On Implementing an HPSG
    Theory" available from http://ling.osu.edu/~dm/on-implementing.html

    Lieben Gruß,
    Detmar
