Generative and component approaches and domain-specific abstractions are revolutionizing software development just as automation and componentization revolutionized manufacturing. Raising the level of abstraction in software specification has been a fundamental goal of the computing community for several decades. Key technologies for automating program development and lifting the abstraction level closer to the problem domain are *Generative Programming* for program synthesis, *Domain-Specific Languages* (DSLs) for compact problem-oriented programming notations, and corresponding *Implementation Technologies* aiming at modularity, correctness, reuse, and evolution. As the field matures *Applications* and *Empirical Results* are of increasing importance. The International Conference on Generative Programming: Concepts & Experiences (GPCE) is a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in techniques that use program generation, domain-specific languages, and component deployment to increase programmer productivity, improve software quality, and shorten the time-to-market of software products. In addition to exploring cutting-edge techniques of generative software, our goal is to foster further cross-fertilization between the software engineering and the programming languages research communities. GPCE'14 will be colocated with ASE'14 in Västerås, Sweden in September 2014. Mälardalen
