Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class hierarchies, or even programming paradigms. Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to practitioners and to theoreticians, and for at least 20 years generic programming techniques have been a specific focus of research in the functional and object-oriented programming language communities. Generic programming has gradually spread to more and more mainstream languages and is today widely used also in industry. This workshop will bring together leading researchers and practitioners in generic programming from around the world, and feature papers capturing the state of the art in this important area. We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of * adaptive object-oriented programming, * aspect-oriented programming, * concepts (as in the STL / C++ sense) * component-based programming, * generic programming, * meta-programming, * polytypic programming, * programming with modules, * and so on.

History of the Workshop on Generic Programming This year: * Edinburgh, UK 2009 (affiliated with ICFP09) Earlier Workshops on Generic Programming have been held in * Victoria, BC, Canada 2008 (affiliated with ICFP), * Portland 2006 (affiliated with ICFP), * Utrecht 2005 (informal workshop), * Dagstuhl 2002 (IFIP WG2.1 Working Conference), * Nottingham 2001 (informal workshop), * Ponte de Lima 2000 (affiliated with MPC), * Marstrand 1998 (affiliated with MPC). There were also (closely related) DGP workshops in Oxford (June 3-4 2004), and a Spring School on DGP in Nottingham (April 24-27 2006, which had a half-day workshop attached). Additional information: The WGP steering committee consists of J Gibbons, R Hinze and J Jeuring.
