{\bf Scope} Generative and component approaches are revolutionizing
software development similar to how automation and components
revolutionized manufacturing.  {\em Generative Programming}
(developing programs that synthesize other programs), {\em Component
Engineering} (raising the level of modularization and analysis in
application design), and {\em Domain-Specific Languages} (elevating
program specifications to compact domain-specific notations that are
easier to write, maintain, and analyze) are key technologies for
automating program development.

\smallskip

GPCE provides a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in
foundational techniques for enhancing the productivity, quality, and
time-to-market in software development that stems from deploying
standard componentry and automating program generation.  In addition
to exploring cutting-edge techniques for developing generative and
component-based software, our goal is to foster further
cross-fertilization between the software engineering research
community and the programming languages community.

proceedings style} (sigplanconf.cls) reporting research results and/or
experience related to the topics above (PC co-chairs can advise on
appropriateness).  We particularly encourage original high-quality
reports on applying GPCE technologies to real-world problems, relating
ideas and concepts from several topics, or bridging the gap between
theory and practice.

{\bf Topics} 
GPCE seeks contributions in software engineering and in
programming languages related (but not limited) to:

\small

Generative programming
\begin{itemize}
\item Reuse, meta-programming, partial evaluation, multi-stage and
multi-level languages, and step-wise refinement
\item Semantics, type systems, symbolic computation, linking and
explicit substitution, in-lining and macros, templates, and program transformation
\item Runtime code generation, compilation, active libraries,
synthesis from specifications, development methods, generation of
non-code artifacts, formal methods, and reflection
\end{itemize}

Generative techniques for 
\begin{itemize}
\item Product-line architectures
\item Distributed real-time and embedded systems
\item Model-driven development and architecture
\end{itemize}

Component-based software engineering
\begin{itemize}
\item Reuse, distributed platforms, distributed systems, evolution,
patterns, development methods, deployment and configuration
techniques, and formal methods 
\end{itemize}

Integration of generative and component-based approaches

Domain engineering and domain analysis 
\begin{itemize}
\item Domain-specific languages (DSLs), including visual and UML-based DSLs 
\end{itemize}

Separation of concerns
\begin{itemize}
\item Aspect-oriented and feature-oriented programming, 
\item Intentional programming and multi-dimensional separation of
concerns 
\end{itemize}

Industrial applications
