< http://gpce08.gpce.org > Seventh International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE'08) Nashville, Tennessee (co-located with OOPSLA 2008) * Only Six Days Left for Early Registration * *** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Generative and component approaches are revolutionizing software development similar to how 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, maintain, and analyze) are key technologies for automating program development. GPCE provides a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in foundational techniques for enhancing the productivity, quality, and time-to-market in software development that stems from deploying standard components and automating program generation. In addition to exploring cutting-edge techniques for developing generative and component-based software, our goal is to foster further cross-fertilization between the software engineering research community and the programming languages community. GPCE 2008 will be co-located with OOPSLA, in Nashville, Tennessee. The GPCE technical program will take place on Oct. 19-20, before the OOPSLA technical program begins. Other GPCE events (workshops and tutorials) will run in parallel with OOPSLA events on Oct 21-23. GPCE'08 is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGSOFT. GPCE'08 proceedings published by ACM Press.
