CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS

                   WORKSHOP ON C++ TEMPLATE PROGRAMMING
                   (http://www.netobjectdays.org/tmpw/)

                              October 9, 2000
                              Erfurt, Germany

                          in Conjunction with the
                     Second International Symposium on
      Generative and Component-Based Software Engineering (GCSE 2000)
                   (http://www.netobjectdays.org/gcse/)

One of the most exciting research areas in C++ focuses on the use of
templates, especially as a means to support generic and generative
programming.  A number of powerful, flexible, and useful techniques have
been developed, but to date there has been no forum where workers in the
field of C++ template programming could gather to hear about one another's
work.  The purpose of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for people
interested in C++ template programming to gather and exchange ideas.

We encourage submission of extended abstracts of up to 10 pages on any
aspect of C++ template programming, including (but not limited to) the
following:

    Generic and generative programming in C++
    Uses or extensions of the STL or other templates in the standard libray
    Traits and traits-based programming
    Iterators for multidimensional data structures
    Template metaprogramming, including the representation of
      metainformation in C++
    Combining static configuration with dynamic techniques
    Expression templates
    Experience reports on template programming
    Debugging template code
    Compiler support for templates, including compilation times and
      diagnostics
    Implementing C++'s template features
    Portability issues
    Template design and programming techniques

We are as interested in the application of templates as in their design and
implementation.  Papers describing novel and interesting uses of the STL or
other existing template libraries are as welcome as papers describing the
design and implementation of new templates.

Our primary interest is in abstracts describing new work, but we will
consider abstracts based on prior publications.  (Work that has already
been published should be identified as such.)  One of our goals is to
increase the visibility of information likely to be helpful to other
workers in the field of C++ template programming.

A workshop proceedings will be produced in electronic form, to be made
available via the Internet or on CD by the time of the workshop.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Extended abstracts of no more than 10 pages should be sent to
workshop@aristeia.com.  Electronic submission in HTML or PDF is strongly
preferred.  Questions about the submission process should be sent to
workshop@aristeia.com.
