Server Problems

(May 21, 16:45 PDT) We are currently experiencing problems with the electronic submission server. The submission deadline has thus been postponed by one day, to tomorrow, Friday, May 22, 18:00 Pacific Daylight Time. Please check back here for status updates.

(May 22, 00:15 PDT) The server is up and running again. Please submit at the electronic submission site.

Generative and component approaches are revolutionizing software development similar to how automation and components revolutionized manufacturing. Generative Programming (developing programs that synthesize other programs), Component Engineering (raising the level of modularization and analysis in application design), and 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.

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 components 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.
