GTTSE 2011, 3–9 July, 2011, Braga, Portugal 4th International Summer School on Generative and Transformational Techniques in Software Engineering http://gttse.wikidot.com/ SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM SUMMARY 8 Long Tutorials 8 Short Tutorials Participants Workshop REGISTRATION DEADLINE: May 27 (early registration) June 17 (late registration) SCOPE AND FORMAT The summer school brings together PhD students, lecturers, technology presenters, as well as other researchers and practitioners who are interested in the generation and the transformation of programs, data, software models, data models, meta-models, documentation, and entire software systems. This concerns many areas of software engineering: software reverse and re-engineering, model-driven approaches, automated software engineering, generic language technology, aspect-oriented programming, feature-oriented development, compiler construction, to name a few. These areas differ with regard to the specific sorts of meta-models (or grammars, schemas, formats etc.) that underlie 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 technology presentations, which present setups for generative and transformational techniques. These presentations complement each other in terms of the chosen application domains, case studies, and the underlying concepts. The program of the school also features a participants workshop. All summer school material will be collected in proceedings that are handed out to the participants. Formal proceedings will be compiled after the summer school, where all contributions are subjected to additional reviewing. The formal proceedings of the previous three instances of the summer school (2005, 2007 and 2009) were published as volumes 4143, 5235 and 6491 in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series of Springer-Verlag.
