Overview
The program committee for GPCE 2008 is seeking high quality submissions
in two categories: research papers and experience reports.
Research Papers
10 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls) reporting
original research results that contribute to scientific knowledge in
the areas listed below (the PC chair can advise on appropriateness).
Experience reports:
2 to 4 pages in length in SIGPLAN proceedings style
(sigplanconf.cls). We encourage experience reports that provide
concrete evidence with regards to the efficacy of generative
technologies in industrial applications.
Topics
GPCE seeks contributions in software engineering and in programming
languages related (but not limited) to:
* Generative programming
* Reuse, meta-programming, partial evaluation, multi-stage and
multi-level languages, step-wise refinement,
and generic programming
* Semantics, type systems, symbolic computation, linking and
explicit substitution, in-lining and macros, templates, and
program transformation
* Runtime code generation, compilation, active libraries,
synthesis from specifications, development methods, generation of
non-code artifacts, formal methods, and reflection
* Generative techniques for
* Product-line architectures
* Distributed, real-time and embedded systems
* Model-driven development and architecture
* Resource bounded/safety critical systems.
* Component-based software engineering
* Reuse, distributed platforms and middleware, distributed
systems, evolution, patterns, development methods, deployment and
configuration techniques, and formal methods
* Integration of generative and component-based approaches
* Domain engineering and domain analysis
* Domain-specific languages including visual and UML-based DSLs
* Separation of concerns
* Aspect-oriented and feature-oriented programming,
* Intentional programming and multi-dimensional separation of
concerns
* Industrial applications of the above
Experience reports on applications of these techniques to real-world
problems are especially encouraged, as are research papers that relate
ideas and concepts from several of these topics, or bridge the gap
between theory and practice. The program chair is happy to advise on
the appropriateness of a particular subject.
Submissions must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy.
Co-location with OOPSLA
The technical program of GPCE will start on Sunday, October 19, 2008. The
technical program of OOPSLA (that is, the technical paper sessions) will start
on Tuesday, October 21, 2008.
Contact
Please contact
the program chair if you have any questions concerning the submission of
papers (gpce2008 at gpce.org).
