GCSE - GCSE´99 Program - GCSE Program Committee - Original CfP

Intention
Component-based software development is expected to bring a productivity increase to software development comparable to the introduction of the assembly line in manufacturing. Unfortunately, current component technologies suffer from several problems. For example, increasing the generality and size of components usually causes complexity explosion and performance degradation; large configuration spaces are not managed efficiently; components suffer from incompatibilities and redundant implementations of similar features. Generative approaches have the potential to address these problems with techniques such as domain-specific optimizations, automated configuration, and generating components and systems from smaller components or more abstract representations. Both generative and component-oriented approaches require changes in analysis and design methods, particularly, to move their focus from single systems to system families.

The goal of this symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different areas related to generative development and component-based engineering and to stimulate integrative work. The symposium will include both a technical papers session (Sept. 29-30) and pre-conference tutorials (Sept. 28).

Topics
The relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

• Integration of Generative and Component-Based Approaches
• Metaprogramming Systems
• Open Compilers and Open Programming Environments
• Template Metaprogramming
• Active Libraries
• Reflection
• Modularly Extensible Languages
• Domain-Specific Languages
• Aspect-Oriented Programming
• Application Generators
• Multiparadigm Approaches
• Domain Analysis
• Domain Engineering
• Product Line and System Family Issues and Architectures
• Generative Reuse
• Transformation Systems
• Partial Evaluation
• Component Engineering
• Component-Based Development
• Integration of forward and reverse engineering

Papers combining concepts from more than one topic area are preferred.
