Call for Participation

                       Eighth International Conference on
          Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE 2009)

                                October 4-5, 2009
                                 Denver, Colorado
                    (co-located with MODELS 2009 and SLE 2009)

                               http://www.gpce.org


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 (DSLs) (elevating program
specifications to compact domain-specific notations that are easier to write,
maintain, and analyze) are key technologies for automating program  
development.

The International Conference on Generative Programming and Component
Engineering provides a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in
techniques for enhancing the productivity, quality, and time-to-market in
software development that stems from deploying components 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.
