IMPORTANT DATES

* Submission of papers:    June 14, 2013
* Paper notification:      August 22, 2013


SCOPE

Generative and component approaches and domain-specific abstractions are
revolutionizing software development just as automation and componentization
revolutionized manufacturing. Raising the level of abstraction in software
specification has been a fundamental goal of the computing community for
several decades. Key technologies for automating program development and
lifting the abstraction level closer to the problem domain are
*Generative Programming*  for program synthesis,*Domain-Specific Languages*  
(DSLs) for compact problem-oriented programming notations, and corresponding
*Implementation Technologies*  aiming at modularity, correctness, reuse, and
evolution. As the field matures*Applications*  and*Empirical Results*  are
of increasing importance.

The International Conference on Generative Programming: Concepts & Experiences
(GPCE) is a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in techniques
that use program generation, domain-specific languages, and component
deployment to increase programmer productivity, improve software quality,
and shorten the time-to-market of software products. In addition to exploring
cutting-edge techniques of generative software, our goal is to foster further
cross-fertilization between the software engineering and the programming
languages research communities.



SUBMISSIONS

We seek research papers of up to 10 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style
(sigplanconf.cls, see
http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm) reporting original and
unpublished results of theoretical, empirical, conceptual, or
experimental research that contribute to scientific knowledge in the
areas listed below (the PC chair can advise on appropriateness).

4 page short papers and tool demonstrations are also accepted (see website).


TOPICS

GPCE seeks contributions on all topics related to generative software and
its properties. As technology is maturing, this year, we are particularly
looking for empirical evaluations in this context. Key topics include
(but are certainly not limited too):

* Generative software
     Domain-specific languages
     Product lines
     Metaprogramming
     Program synthesis
     Implementation techniques and tool support
* Properties of generative software
     Correctness of generators and generated code
     Reuse and evolution
     Modularity, separation of concerns, understandability, and maintainability
     Performance engineering, nonfunctional properties
     Application areas and engineering practice
* Empirical evaluations of all topics above

A more detailed list of topics can be found on the website.

Examples of key challenges in the field are
*   Synthesizing code from declarative specifications
*   Supporting extensible languages and language embedding
*   Ensuring correctness and other nonfunctional properties of generated code;
     proving generators correct
*   Improving error reporting with domain-specific error messages
*   Reasoning about generators; handling variability-induced complexity in
     product lines
*   Providing efficient interpreters and execution languages
*   Human factors in developing and maintaining generators


Note on empirical evaluations: This year, GPCE seriously commits on encouraging submissions about empirical evaluations of generative software. Empirical papers often have a difficult stand at programming language venues. We understand the frustration with reviews for empirical papers that, for example, simply recommend repeating entire experiments with human subjects due to slight deviations in the execution. To alleviate these problems, we have asked several experts routinely working with empirical methods to join the program committee and we will actively seek external reviews where appropriate. During submissions, authors can optionally indicate whether their paper contains substantial empirical work, and we will invest all effort necessary to ensure that such papers will be reviewed by experts familiar with the used empirical research method. The program-committee discussions will reflect on both technical contribution and research method.

Policy: Incremental improvements over previously published work should have
been evaluated through systematic, comparative, empirical, or
experimental evaluation.  Submissions must adhere to SIGPLAN's
republication policy
(http://www.sigplan.org/republicationpolicy.htm). Please contact the
program chair if you have any questions about how this policy applies
to your paper ([log in to unmask]).
