Summer School on Generative and Transformational Techniques in Software Engineering 4 - 8 July, 2005, Braga, Portugal http://wiki.di.uminho.pt/twiki/bin/view/GTTSE/WebHome SCOPE AND FORMAT The summer school brings together PhD students, lecturers, tool presenters, as well as other researchers and practitioners who are interested in the generation and the transformation of programs, data, models, meta-models, and documentation. This concerns many areas of software engineering: software reverse and re-engineering, model-driven approaches, automated software engineering, generic language technology, to name a few. These areas differ with regard to the specific sorts of meta-models (or grammars, schemas, formats etc.) that underly the involved artifacts, and with regard to the specific techniques that are employed for the generation and the transformation of the artifacts. The tutorials are given by renowned representatives of complementary approaches and problem domains. Each tutorial combines foundations, methods, examples, and tool support. The program of the summer school also features invited tool demos and a student workshop. As for the latter, all students of the summer school will be invited to give a presentation about their ongoing work. They will be asked to submit a title and an abstract beforehand. The senior researchers present at the summer school will provide the students with feedback on their presentations. All summer school material will be collected in proceedings that are handed out to the participants. Formal proceedings will be produced after the summer school. TUTORIALS * Don Batory (The University of Texas at Austin): "Feature Oriented Programming" * Ira Baxter (Semantic Designs Inc.): "Compiling Fast XML reader/writers from DTDs using Program Transformations" * Jean Bezivin (INRIA, LINA, University of Nantes): "Metamodelling and Model Driven Software Development" * Shigeru Chiba (Tokyo Institute of Technology): "Program Transformation With Reflective and Aspect-Oriented Programming" * Jean-Luc Hainaut (University of Namur): "The Transformational Approach to Database Engineering" * Zhenjiang Hu (University of Tokyo): "Program Optimization and Transformation in Calculational Forms" * Erik Meijer (Microsoft, Redmond): "Object, relational, and XML mapping" * Tom Mens (University of Mons-Hainaut): "On the use of graph transformations for software refactoring" VENUE The summer school will be held in the northern region of Portugal, known as the Costa Verde. The region is known for its attractiveness in terms of climate, prices, and culture. The region is served by the Oporto international airport, providing direct flights to many major European cities. The event will take place in Hotel da Falperra, situated in the hills overlooking the city of Braga. Hotel da Falperra is a four star hotel that provides splendid seminar and leisure facilities including a swimming pool. The hotel is situated in a quiet and somewhat isolated mountain area, which promotes the interaction between senior and junior researchers. The hotel has good connections to the Braga city center (approx. 10 min). SUMMER SCHOOL CHAIRS * Ralf Lämmel (Program Chair), CWI & VU, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. * Joao Saraiva (Program Chair), Universidade do Minho, Braga, Portugal. * Joost Visser (Organizing Chair), Universidade do Minho, Braga, Portugal.
