IMPORTANT DATES
* Pre-submission: April 30, 2006
* Submission: May 5, 2006, 23:59, Apia time (firm deadline, no
extensions)
* Notification: June 28, 2005
SCOPE
Generative and component approaches are revolutionizing software
development similar to how automation and components revolutionized
manufacturing. Generative Programming (developing programs that
synthesize other programs), Component Engineering (raising the level
of modularization and analysis in application design), and
Domain-Specific Languages (elevating program specifications to compact
domain-specific notations that are easier to write, maintain, and
analyze) are key technologies for automating program development.
GPCE provides a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in
foundational techniques for enhancing the productivity, quality, and
time-to-market in software development that stems from deploying
standard componentry and automating program generation. In addition to
exploring cutting-edge techniques for developing generative and
component-based software, our goal is to foster further
cross-fertilization between the software engineering research
community and the programming languages community.

SUBMISSIONS
10 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls) reporting
research results and/or experience related to the topics above (PC
co-chairs can advise on appropriateness). We particularly encourage
original high-quality reports on applying GPCE technologies to
real-world problems, relating ideas and concepts from several topics,
or bridging the gap between theory and practice.

TOPICS
GPCE seeks contributions in software engineering and in programming
languages related (but not limited) to:
* Generative programming
Reuse, meta-programming, partial evaluation, multi-stage and
multi-level languages, and step-wise refinement
Semantics, type systems, symbolic computation, linking and
explicit
substitution, in-lining and macros, templates, and program
transformation
Runtime code generation, compilation, active libraries, synthesis
from specifications, development methods, generation of non-code
artifacts, formal methods, and reflection
* Generative techniques for
Product-line architectures
Distributed, real-time and embedded systems
Model-driven development and architecture
* Component-based software engineering
Reuse, distributed platforms and middleware, distributed systems,
evolution,
patterns, development methods, deployment and configuration
techniques, and formal methods
* Integration of generative and component-based approaches
* Domain engineering and domain analysis
Domain-specific languages (DSLs) including visual and UML-based
DSLs
* Separation of concerns
Aspect-oriented and feature-oriented programming,
Intentional programming and multi-dimensional separation of
concerns
* Industrial applications
Reports on applications of these techniques to real-world
problems are especially encouraged, as are submissions that
relate ideas and concepts from several of these topics, or bridge
the gap between theory and practice. The program committee is
happy to advise on the appropriateness of a particular subject.

GPCE Tutorials and Workshops
GPCE Tutorials, extending over a half or full day, give a deeper or
broader insight than conventional lectures.
GPCE Workshops provide intensive collaborative environments, where
generative and component technologists meet to discuss and resolve
challenging problems in the field.
Tutorial and workshop proposals are due Mar 18, 2006.
