----------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE. Generative and component approaches have the potential to
revolutionize software development in a similar way as 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 and maintain) are key technologies for automating program
development.
GPCE arose as a joint conference, merging the conference on Generative
and Component-Based Software Engineering (GCSE) and the workshop on
Semantics, Applications, and Implementation of Program Generation
(SAIG). The goal of GPCE is to provide a meeting place for researchers
and practitioners interested in cutting edge approaches to software
development. We aim to foster further cross-fertilization between the
software engineering research community and the programming languages
community, in addition to supporting the original research goals of
both the GCSE and the SAIG communities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS. GPCE seeks contributions both 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, step-wise refinement
- Semantics, type systems, symbolic computation, linking and
explicit substitution, in-lining and macros, templates, program
transformation
- Runtime code generation, compilation, active libraries, synthesis
from specifications, development methods, generation of non-code
artifacts, formal methods, reflection
* Generative techniques for
- Product lines and architectures
- Embedded systems
- Model-driven architecture
* Component-based software engineering
- Reuse, distributed platforms, distributed systems, evolution,
analysis and design patterns, development methods, 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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS. Authors are invited to submit a title and abstract
(by Apr 10) and a full paper (by Apr 15) reporting research results
and/or experience related to the topics above. We especially
encourage original high-quality reports on applications to real-world
problems, relating ideas and concepts from several topics, or bridging
the gap between theory and practice.
Simultaneous submission to other venues and submission of previously
published material are not allowed. Accepted papers will appear in
the conference proceedings, to be published in Springer's LNCS series.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES. Electronic submission will be required (except
by special arrangement with the PC chairs). Submissions must be in
PDF, conform to the LNCS style, and be no longer than 15 PAGES. For
formatting details see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Second Call for Contributions and Participation
SIXTH STRATEGO USER DAYS (SUD'05)
May 2 - 4, 2005
Utrecht University
Utrecht, The Netherlands
http://www.stratego-language.org/Stratego/SixthStrategoUserDays
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
with preliminary list of …
[View More]presentations
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
The Stratego User Days are a yearly meeting of Stratego/XT developers
and users. Topics include
* The state of the Stratego language and toolset
* Ongoing developments
* Plans and requirements for the future
* Development tools and implementation techniques for transformation systems
* Compilers, interpreters, documentation generation
* Transformation components and their composition
* Deployment issues
* Benchmarking transformations and transformed programs
* Extensibility of transformation systems
* Strategies for ...
* Data-flow optimizations
* Partial evaluation
* Typechecking
* Compilation
* etc.
* Language-specific transformation systems
* C, C++, Java, XML, Haskell, Koala, ...
* Methods for design and development of transformation systems
* Tutorials
* Experience reports
---------------------------------------
FORMAT
The meeting has a workshop format with talks, but also plenty of time
will be reserved for discussions, code inspections, demonstrations, and
time to meet individually. A walk through the woods around the campus is
usually part of the deal as well.
Based on experiences from previous years, there are two types of
attendees; new Stratego programmers interested in a basic tutorial,
and advanced Stratego programmers and researchers interested in the
cutting edge. To accomodate both types, the 2006 meeting will consist of
a tutorial day and a technical program.
Tutorial
The tutorial day (on Monday) will consist of a basic introduction into
Stratego and XT in the morning, and a series of tutorial talks about
recent developments in the afternoon. Potential topics include
* Stratego language
* Rules and strategies
* Redesigned dynamic rules (including dependent dynamic rules)
* Architecture of transformation systems
* Language-specific libraries
* Transformation tool composition
It would be good to know well in advance who will attend the tutorial so
that we can adjust the material to the audience.
Technical Program
The other (one or) two days are intended for a technical program
consisting of 30 or 45 min talks about topics from the list above or
other topics of interest to the Stratego/XT community. These talks will
be accompanied by short papers (4 pages), which will be published in a
Utrecht University technical report.
---------------------------------------
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS AND PARTICIPATION
We invite everyone interested in program transformation and Stratego/XT
to attend the meeting and possibly to make a contribution to the meeting
in the form of a talk or demonstration.
Contributions
If you would like to give a talk or demonstration please send a short
paper (at most 4 pages) to visser+sud05(a)cs.uu.nl before March 15 2004,
but preferably earlier. If you are in doubt whether a certain topic
would be of interest to the meeting, don't hesitate to get in touch via
the same email address.
Participation
>From Monday, May 2 to Wednesday, May 4, 2005 we meet at Utrecht
University so that everyone interested in Stratego/XT can get
up to date with current developments, and get an overview of ongoing
activities.
A fee to cover the expenses of coffee and lunch may be necessary.
Usually we go out for dinner at night, which is at your own expense.
Please register as soon as possible, but before April 1, 2005, so that
we can make reservations for room, lunch and dinner by sending an email
to visser+sud05(a)cs.uu.nl.
Important Dates
* Proposals for contributions: March 15, 2005
