FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Third International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE'04) Vancouver, October 24-28, 2004 co-located with OOPSLA 2004 and ISMM 2004 http://gpce04.gpce.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ Electronic submission is now open ------------------------------------ http://gpce.program-transformation.org ------------------------------------ Important Dates ------------------------------------ Pre-submission: March 12, 2004 Submission: March 19, 2004 ------------------------------------ Page limit is 20 pages LNCS format ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ 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 prior 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 on the one hand, and the programming languages community on the other, in addition to supporting the original research goals of both the GCSE and the SAIG communities. We seek papers both in software engineering and in programming languages, and especially those that bridge the gap and are accessible to both communities at the same time. --- more information at http://gpce04.gpce.org
