SCOPE

Generative  programming  is   an  emerging   paradigm   aimed 
at  automating  important   tasks  in  software   development,
compile-time  and   run-time  code  transformation,  and  the 
creation  of domain-specific languages and flexible libraries. 
The  purpose  of the  workshop  is  to  provide  a forum  for 
researchers and practitioners working in this area to discuss
state-of-the-art  generative  technologies  and  tools,   and
exchange  ideas  about  the future  of generative programming.
Papers describing practical applications of generative styles,
and new research directions are expected.  Suggested areas of
interest in the workshop include, but are not limited to:

- Generative programming, metaprogramming
- Separation of concerns, aspect-oriented techniques
- Intentional programming
- Domain engineering and domain analysis
- Product-line architectures
- Compile-time and run-time code transformation
- Multi-stage languages
- Generic and Active library-development
- Analysis of language support for generative programming
- Semantics, type-systems of generative programs
- Case Studies and Demonstration Cases
