Event Description

Ninth International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE 2010)

Generative and component approaches are revolutionizing software development similar to how automation and components revolutionized manufacturing. Generative Programming (concerning programs that synthesize other programs), component Engineering (concerning modularity in application design), and Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) (concerning compact domain-specific notations for expressing programs) are key technologies for automating program development.

The International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering is a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in techniques that, through deploying components and program generation, increase programmer productivity, improve software quality, and shorten the time-to-market of software products. In addition to exploring cutting-edge techniques of generative and component-based software, our goal is to foster further cross-fertilization between the software engineering and the programming languages research communities.

Topics

GPCE seeks contributions in software engineering and in programming languages related (but not limited) to:

Generative programming
Generative techniques
Component-based software engineering
Integration of generative and component-based approaches
Domain engineering and domain analysis
Separation of concerns
Industrial applications of the above

Submissions

Research papers

10 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls) reporting original research results that contribute to scientific knowledge in the areas listed below (the PC chair can advise on appropriateness).

Tool demonstrations

Tool demonstrations should present tools that implement novel generative and component-based software engineering techniques, and are available for use. Any of the GPCE'10 topics of interest are appropriate areas for research demonstrations. Purely commercial tool demonstrations will not be accepted. Submissions should contain a tool description of 4 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls) and a demonstration outline of up to 2 pages text plus 2 pages screen shots. The four page description will, if the demonstration is accepted, be published in the proceedings. The 2+2 page demonstration outline will only be used by the PC for evaluating the submission.
