Generative Programming and Component Engineering

This panel will discuss crucial questions about the state and future of Generative Programming. Panelists include: D. Batory, K. Czarnecki, J. Gray, D. Schmidt, and W. Taha, all leading researchers in and contributors to the field of the GP. The tentative topics for discussion include:

• What good is generative programming for anyway?
• How do we teach GP?
• What are standard challenge problems ("benchmarks") for GP?
• How do we evaluate GP approaches?
• What are the current and future directions in GP?

The panelists will present a short position statement on these topics, followed by open discussion involving the audience.
