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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 INVITED SPEAKERS: * Oscar Nierstrasz: Object-oriented Reengineering Patterns * Oege de Moor: The AspectBench Compiler for AspectJ * Bernd Fischer: Certifiable Program Generation 25 TECHNICAL PAPERS 2 DEMONSTRATIONS: * Developing Dynamic and Adaptable Applications with CAM/DAOP: a Virtual Office Application * Metamodeling made easy - MetaEdit+ 2 TUTORIALS T1: Multi-stage Programming in MetaOCaml (Presenters: W.Taha, C.Calcagno) T2: Implementing Domain-Specific Modelling Languages and Generators (Presenters: R.Pohjonen and J-P.Tolvanen) 3 WORKSHOPS W1: Seventh Young Researchers Workshop (Organizers: D.R.Dechow, D.Foetsch, S.Kiebusch, S.Perugini, M.J.Rutherford, D.Shestakov) W2: Second MetaOCaml Workshop (Organizers: K.Swadi, W.Taha) W3: Graph and Model Transformations Workshop (Organizers: G.Karsai, G.Taentzer) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE Chairs: * Robert Glück (U. of Copenhagen) * Michael Lowry (NASA) Members: * Don Batory (U. of Texas, USA) * Ira Baxter (Semantic Designs) * Cristiano Calcagno (Imperial College) * Prem Devanbu (U. of California at Davis) * Ulrich Eisenecker (U. of Leipzig) * Tom Ellman (Vassar College) * Robert Filman (NASA) * Zhenjiang Hu (U. of Tokyo) * Patricia Johann (Rutgers U.) * John Launchbury (Galois) * Anne-Françoise Le Meur (U. of Sci. and Tech.
