Third International
Conference on
Generative and Component-Based Software Engineering
Component-based software development
bears the promise of considerable productivity increases
to software development comparable to the introduction
of the assembly line in manufacturing. Unfortunately,
current component technologies suffer from several problems.
During evolution and customization for reuse, components
are affected by changes arising from new functional
and non-functional requirements, new variation points,
new software architectures and component deployment
strategies, new versions of a computing environment
that affect component communication, etc. Due to those
changes, components may erode quickly, resulting in
complexity explosion, performance degradation and redundant
implementations of similar features, thereby reducing
the reusability of the components. Research activities
are required to address the aforementioned and other
problems. Generative programming present a promising
approach to alleviating the above problems, as changes
affecting components can now be more effectively managed
during the generation process rather than at the component
level. Using generative programming, we can produce
custom components from elements that can be considerably
simpler than executable components themselves, keeping
the complexity of an evolving component system under
control. Both generative and component-based approaches
require changes in analysis and design methods, particularly,
to move their focus from single systems to product lines.
The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers
and practitioners from different areas related to generative
development and component-based engineering and to stimulate
integrative work. The conference will include a technical
papers session and pre-conference tutorials.

Submission Guidelines
In order to foster a lively exchange
of perspectives on the conference topics, the program
committee encourages contributions from both researchers
and practitioners. Papers in two categories will be
considered:
- Research Paper (10 pages)
- Experience Report (3-6 pages)
