[BoostCon 2010] Call for Participation

2009-10-01T20:10:58Z

Please distribute!

--------------------------------
4th Annual Boost Conference 2010
--------------------------------
Aspen CO, USA, May 4-10, 2010, www.boostcon.com

Call for participation
----------------------

We invite you to submit session proposals to the 4th Annual Boost
Conference: BoostCon 2010 (Aspen CO, USA, May 10-14, 2010).

Traditionally the main face-to-face event for all things Boost
(www.boost.org), BoostCon 2010 will present leading speakers from
the whole C++ community. From using the Boost libraries to writing
and maintaining them, from evangelizing to deploying Boost within
your organization, from infrastructure and process to vision and
mission, and the new C++ Standard, BoostCon brings together the
sessions, the colleagues, and the inspiration to support your work
with C++ and Boost in particular for the next year.

To reflect the breadth of the Boost community, the conference
includes sessions aimed at two constituencies: Boost end-users
and hard-core Boost library and tool developers. The program
fosters interaction and engagement within and across those two
groups, with an emphasis on hands-on, participatory sessions.

Session topics
--------------
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the
following:

* General tutorial sessions introducing one or more Boost
libraries
* In-depth sessions on using specific Boost libraries
* Case studies on using Boost
* Experts panels
* Advanced sessions on implementation techniques used within
Boost libraries
* C++0x and how it will change life for users and library writers
* Development workshops to extend or enhance existing Boost
libraries
* Workshops on design process
* Infrastructure workshops such as Build tools, Website, Testing
* Concepts and Generic Programming
* Hardware and infrastructure presentations focused on how
libraries can make better use of the technology
* Other topics likely to be of great interest to Boost users and
developers

Interactive and collaborative sessions are encouraged, as this is
the nature of both the on-line Boost community and the style of
learning and participation that has proven most successful at
such events. Sessions can be tutorial based, with an emphasis on
interaction and participant involvement, or workshop based,
whether hands-on programming or paper-based, discussion-driven
collaborative work.

Session formats
---------------
Presentations
Presentations focus on a practitioner's ideas and experience with
anything relevant to Boost and Boost users.

Panels
Panels feature three or four people presenting their ideas and
experiences relating to Boost's relevant, controversial, emerging,
or unresolved issues. Panels may be conducted in several ways,
such as comparative, analytic, or historic.

Tutorials
Tutorials are sessions at which instructors teach conference
participants specific Boost-relevant skills.

Workshops
Workshops provide an active arena for advancements in Boost-
relevant topics. Workshops provide the opportunity for experienced
practitioners to develop new ideas about a topic of common interest
and experience.

Author's Corner Presentations
These were introduced at BoostCon 2008, and were a great success.
They are short (30 minute) sessions, focusing on tips on usage and
design. In addition, we're looking to uncover the hidden design gems
in Boost libraries.

Tool Vendors Presentations
We actively encourage tool vendors and ISP's to submit proposals
for a special Tool Vendors Session Track aimed at products related
to Boost and C++ (compilers, libraries, tools, etc.).

Other formats may also be of interest. Don't hold back a proposal
just because it doesn't fit into a pigeonhole.

Submitting a proposal
---------------------
Standard Sessions are 90 minutes. You may submit a proposal for
fractions or multiples of 90-minutes. Fractional proposals will be
grouped into 90 minute sessions covering related topics.
Longer sessions, such as tutorials and classes, will be assigned 90
minute, three hour (i.e. half day), or six hour (i.e. full day) time
slots.

Please include:

* The working title.
* Type of session: presentation, panel, tutorial, workshop, authors
corner, vendor track, other.
* A paragraph or two describing the topic covered, suitable for the
conference web site.
* Proposed length: 10-20 minute short talks, 45 minutes, 90 minutes,
half day, full day.
* Alternate lengths, if you are willing to make adjustments: 10-20
minute short-talks, 45 minutes, 90 minutes, half-day, full day.
* Audience: users, developers, both.
* Level: basic, intermediate, advanced.
* A biography, suitable for the conference web site.
* Your contact information (will not be made public).

Submission details
------------------
All submissions have to be done through the EasyChair conference
management system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=boostcon10.
If you have not already registered at EasyChair, you will need to
do so in order to submit your proposal.

(IMRT) is on the emerging modeling, representation and retrieval techniques
that take into account the amount, type and diversity of information accessible
in distributed computing environment. The main topics include data semantics and
ontologies, semi-structure data management, spatial information systems,
multimedia databases, multimedia networking and qos, information retrieval and
search engine, information security, schema mapping and evolution, data
warehousing, social network, and applications.

* The track "Web-Based Information Technologies & Distributed Systems" (WITDS)
is devoted to emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for
creating an interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily,
tasks can be processed collaboratively, and communities of users with similarly
interests can be formed while addressing security threats that are present more
than ever before. The main topics include information system interoperability,
emergent semantics, agent-based systems, distributed and parallel information
management, grid, P2P, web-centric systems, web security and integrity issues.

2009-08-05T13:06:26Z

The Chicago C/C++ Users group seeks presenters for our inaugural meeting on Sept. 22 2009 as well as subsequent meetings on the fourth Thursday of every month. Our membership has reported an interest in presentations on Boost. If you have good knowledge of Boost and will be in the Chicago area during a meeting we would love to have you teach us more about Boost.

Besides Boost, some other topics for presentations could include

* ACE
* C++0x
* Multicore programming
* Network programming (sockets/TCP/IP)
* Platform-specific topics such as MFC and the Linux API
* Introductory topics such as the difference between a pointer and a reference

More information on the Chicago C/C++ Users Group is available at
http://www.meetup.com/Chicago-C-CPP-Users-Group/

As a new user group we have no funding so we are unable to provide travel fare or accommodation. Ideally, if you live outside of Chicagoland you could deliver a presentation while on other business in the area.

There is little reason to force other subscribers to sift through follow up discussion so please respond off-list to olingaa@....

PhD position at LIRMM, Montpellier

2009-05-19T11:42:35Z

The RCR (knowledge representation and reasoning) group at LIRMM,
Montpellier, is looking for a highly motivated candidate for a
three-year PhD position to investigate representation and reasoning
aspects for combinatorial auctions.

Combinatorial auctions (CAs) can be looked at as a way of approaching
allocation problems involving multiple heterogeneous goods. Bidding is
the problem of representing one's valuation function over this set of
goods on offer. The research project will focus on investigating a graph
based approach for representing and manipulating bids for CAs from a
representational and reasoning viewpoint.

The challenges of this work are twofold: (1) representation / reasoning
(algorithms working on compact graphical representations are to be
designed) and (2) reasoning / efficiency (structure of the represented
bids can be used to characterize interesting complexity classes).

The candidate must have a master’s degree in Computing Science or
Applied Mathematics. The candidate should possess (1) strong analytical
skills, (2) good knowledge of graph theoretical notions, (3) good
knowledge of multi agent systems and (4) highly proficient skills in at
least one major programming language.

Interested candidates should apply by emailing croitoru@... as soon
as possible (and no later than 25th of May 2009):
• a letter of motivation with statement of research interests
• curriculum vitae
• master studies results

BoostCon 2009 Early Registration Still Available

2009-04-09T07:42:01Z

In recognition of the economic climate, and in order to make possible
the maximum participation this year, we've extended the early
registration deadline for BoostCon until April 26th, so BoostCon is
still only $599. BoostCon has always been a great place to network,
find out what is happening in the C++ community, and learn about the
coolest C++ libraries being developed within and outside of Boost ---
and this year will be better than ever. The official schedule is now
live at http://www.boostcon.com/program. A few highlights of the
"mouth-watering content" (in the words of one enrollee) are:

* A keynote address from Andrei Alexandrescu called "Iterators Must Go."

* Troy Straszheim's presentations on how high-energy physicists are
using Boost to process massive datasets as they go "Icefishing for
Neutrinos" and on Kamasu, his library for offloading computation to
your machine's GPU.

* Two hands-on sessions where we'll start recoding parts of Boost for
C++0x, applying rvalue references, variadic templates, decltype, and
advanced SFINAE capabilities using the latest GCC.

* "Practical C++ Test-Driven Development with Boost.Test and Bmock," by
Asher Sterkin

* A session on compiler construction using Boost.Spirit v2, from Hartmut
Kaiser and Joel de Guzman

The complete list of sessions covers a wide range of other Boost and
C++-related topics. Please have a look:
http://www.boostcon.com/program/sessions.

The quality of BoostCon has always depended on its diverse and
interesting participants, so bring your ideas, questions, and
experience, and sign up now!

ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Generic Programming 2009
Edinburgh, UK, August 30, 2009

http://wiki.portal.chalmers.se/cse/WGP09

Goals of the workshop

Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making
them more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds
of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably
instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the
parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for
example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class
hierarchies, or even programming paradigms.

Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to
practitioners and to theoreticians, and for at least 20 years generic
programming techniques have been a specific focus of research in the
functional and object-oriented programming language communities. Generic
programming has gradually spread to more and more mainstream languages
and is today widely used also in industry. This workshop will bring
together leading researchers and practitioners in generic programming
from around the world, and feature papers capturing the state of the art
in this important area.

We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as
practical, of

* adaptive object-oriented programming,
* aspect-oriented programming,
* concepts (as in the STL / C++ sense)
* component-based programming,
* generic programming,
* meta-programming,
* polytypic programming,
* programming with modules,
* and so on.

Finall Call For Papers (DSL WC)

2008-12-04T19:08:02Z

*** IFIP Working Conference on Domain Specific Languages (DSL WC) ***
July 15-17, 2009, Oxford

http://www.hope.cs.rice.edu/twiki/bin/view/WG211/DSLWC

* Call for Papers
Domain-specific languages are emerging as a fundamental component of
software engineering practice. DSLs are often introduced when new
domains such as web-scripting or markup come into existence, but it is
also common to see DSLs being introduced and adopted for traditional
domains such as parsing and data description. Developing software
using DSLs has many benefits. DSLs are often designed based on
existing notations that are already in use by experts in a given
domain. As such, successful DSLs often reduce or eliminate the effort
needed to transform the concept or innovation produced by the domain
expert into an executable artifact or even a deliverable software
product. DSL implementations can capture and mechanize a significant
portion of the repetitive and mechanical tasks that a domain expert
traditionally needed to perform in order to produce an executable.
DSLs can in many cases capture and make widely available special
expertise that only top specialists in a given domain might have. By
capturing expert knowledge and reducing repetitive tasks, DSLs often
also lead to software that is significantly more portable, more
reliable and more understandable than it would otherwise be.

DSLs can be viewed as having a dual role to general-purpose languages:
whereas general purpose languages try to do everything as well as
possible, DSLs are designed to find a domain where they can solve some
class of problems -- no matter how small -- in the best possible way.
Widely known examples of DSLs include Matlab, Verilog, SQL, LINQ,
JavaScript, PERL, HTML, Open GL, Tcl/Tk, Macromedia Director,
Mathematica/Maple, AutoLisp/AutoCAD, XSLT, RPM, Make, lex/yacc, LaTeX,
PostScript, Excel, among many others. But while these tools have been
widely successful, they still fall short of realizing the full idea
behind them. The goal of this conference is to explore the extent to
which incorporating modern principles of language design and software
engineering can benefit existing and future domain-specific languages.

The ultimate goal of using DSLs is to improve programmer productivity
and software quality. Often, this is achieved by reducing the cost of
initial software development as well as maintenance costs. These
improvements - programs being easier to write and maintain -
materialize as a result of domain-specific guarantees, analyses,
testing techniques, verification techniques, and optimizations.

* Paper Criteria
Papers are sought addressing the research problems, fundamental
principles, and practical techniques of DSLs, including but not
limited to:
- Foundations, including semantics, formal methods, type
theory, and complexity theory
- Language design, ranging from concrete syntax to semantic
and typing issues
- Software engineering, including domain analysis, software
design, and round-trip engineering
- Software processes, including metrics for software and
language evaluation
- Implementation techniques, including parsing, compiling,
and program generation
- Program analysis and automated transformation
- Reverse engineering, re-engineering, design discovery,
automated refactoring
- Hardware/software codesign
- Programming environments, including visual languages,
debuggers, and testing infrastructure
- Teaching DSLs and the use of DSLs in teaching

Case studies, including engineering, bioinformatics, hardware
specification languages, parallel computing languages, real-time and
embedded systems, and networked and distributed domains
Papers will be judged on the depth of their insight and the extent to
which they translate specific experience into general lessons for
domain-specific language designers and implementers, and software
engineers. Papers can range from the practical to the theoretical;
where appropriate, they should refer to actual languages, tools, and
techniques, provide pointers to full definitions and implementations,
and include empirical data on results.

* Important Dates
- July 23rd, 2008: First Call for Papers
- November 12th, 2008: Final Call for Papers
- December 14th, 2008: Abstract submission due.
- December 21st, 2008: Paper submission deadline.
- February 23rd, 2009: Author notification of decisions
- March 22nd, 2009: Camera ready manuscripts due

* Instructions for Authors
Proceedings will be published in the Springer LNCS series. Submissions
and final manuscripts are to follow the LNCS stylesheet formatting
guidelines, and are not to exceed 25 pages. Please submit your
manuscripts online using the EasyChair conference management system.

Strinx.Dictionary

2008-11-28T05:26:53Z

Hi All,
The Strinx library is a lightweight extension to the standard C++
template library, designed to provide a set of highly efficient
containers for modern multithreaded environments. As of its latest
version, the Strinx library provides dictionary: a container with
similar semantics and interface to std::map<string, T>. A dictionary
uses Ternary-Search-Tree as its underlying data structure, and
therefore has better performance over map where the insert-lookup keys
are strings.

On Ternary-Search-Tree:
www.cs.princeton.edu/~rs/strings

On Strinx.Dictionary:
http://strinx.sourceforge.net/docs/strinx.html#dictionary

Constructive comments about the interface and implementation are most
welcome, in particular, if anyone think of Strinx.Dictionary as a
valid candidate for BOOST.

Regards,
Shachar S.

Math Toolkit Distribution Explorer - Windows program now available for download from SourceForge

2008-10-09T04:09:12Z

Although the source is included in the Math Toolkit in Boost release, it may be helpful to know that a pre-built package is now
available for download from Sourceforge, so I trust it is in order to announce it here.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/distexplorer/ Distribution Explorer is a mixed C++ and C# application that allows you to explore the
properties of various statistical distributions, and calculate the Cumulative Distribution Function CDF, Probability distribution
Function PDF, or quantiles/percentiles.

Written using open-source C++ from the http://www.boost.org Boost Math Toolkit library.

Some sample screenshots are available which will allow to you to decide if it will cover the statistical distribution you are
interested in.

There are no pretty pictures :-(

but the numbers are rather accurate :-)

Download Instructions

The Distribution Explorer is distributed as a single Windows Installer package Setupdistex.msi zipped to distexplorer.zip. Download
this file and unzip to a temporary location of your choice, for example your desktop, and run setupdistex.msi.

This will install a program executable, boost_math.dll and an icon to your Program files/Boost/Distex/ folder (unless you chose
another location) and add a shortcut to your Start, Programs menu. If you are updating, you must remove the previous version first
using Control Panel. Add/Remove programs.

(Note that Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and VCredist are requirements for this program. Most recent and updated Windows environments
will already have these, but they are quickly, easily and safely installed from the Microsoft site if required.)

Enjoy.

Paul

GPCE'08 Call for Participation

2008-09-05T08:49:31Z

< http://gpce08.gpce.org >

Seventh International Conference on
Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE'08)

Nashville, Tennessee

(co-located with OOPSLA 2008)

* Only Six Days Left for Early Registration *

*** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

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.

GPCE 2008 will be co-located with OOPSLA, in Nashville, Tennessee. The
GPCE technical program will take place on Oct. 19-20, before the OOPSLA
technical program begins. Other GPCE events (workshops and tutorials)
will run in parallel with OOPSLA events on Oct 21-23. GPCE'08 is
sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGSOFT. GPCE'08
proceedings published by ACM Press.

Motivation
----------
Modern modelling and software development needs software support
beyond that of simple editors and compilers. Often a model or software
piece can be generated from (fragments) of existing models or high level
codes. Software transformation systems are tools which are built for
such transformations. They range from specific tools for one purpose,
via simple pattern matching systems, to general transformation systems
which are easily programmed to do any reasonable transformation. Thus
the more general tools may be treated as meta-tools for generative
programming. They are currently playing a significant role in integrated
development environments (IDEs, e.g., Eclipse) and model driven
engineering (MDE).

Following on the success of STS'04 and STS'06, this workshop is once
again designed to bring together people working on software
transformation systems and those with an interest in software
transformation systems as a tool.

The workshop will this time to some extent focus on the relationship
between software transformation technologies and related technologies
such as reflection (supported, e.g., by Java), (template)
meta-programming (supported by C++), and staged programming languages.
We also want to look at the applications of transformation tools in IDEs
and MDE.

Workshop format
---------------
The workshop will have a small number of participants, around 20,
selected on the basis of short position papers submitted to the
organisers. The aim is to let people with different perspectives meet in
order to allow fruitful interaction.

Submission of intent to participate
-----------------------------------
If you find this workshop interesting you should send an e-mail to
sts08@... with your intent to participate and your area of
expertise/interest. Include a 2 page position paper if you want to give
a presentation. Space may be limited at the workshop, and preregistered
participants will be given priority.

All material must be received by the deadline. We prefer plain ISO or
UTF-8 documents (txt), but latex (only use standard packages) and pdf
formats are also acceptable.

Looking for object-oriented C++ numerics experience

2008-07-24T17:52:43Z

Dear boost community,

I supervise a group at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
Enterprising group members have developed an advanced numerical
application in C++ that relies extensively on boost's uBlas. The
Global Assimilative Ionosphere Model (GAIM) makes extensive use of
templates which has led to a very efficient objected oriented code. I
am interested in communicating with experts in C++ object oriented
numerics who have a potential interest in joining our group and
working on GAIM. The position involves other tasks as well.

JPL is an exciting place to work and the GAIM project is a cutting
edge application. Serious job seekers are invited to send inquiries
directly to me at tony.mannucci@.... I am interested in
developers with significant objected-oriented C++ experience
specifically applied to numerics/scientific applications. General OO
or C++ knowledge is of less interest. Thanks for your attention.

-Tony

Boost Library Performance

2008-06-02T06:52:34Z

Hi,
I would like to know what are the (run time and memory) performance of Boost's library compared to Visual Studio's 2005 stl? For example data structures like: hashtable, map, vector and Algorithms, like sort, etc.

Thanks,
Rami

2nd CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

7th Workshop on
PARALLEL/HIGH-PERFORMANCE OBJECT-ORIENTED SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING (POOSC'08)
8 July 2008
at the
EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (ECOOP 2008)
Paphos-Cyprus, 7-11 July 2008

http://www.ccs3.lanl.gov/poosc08/

While object-oriented programming is being embraced in industry, particularly
in the form of C++ and to an increasing extent Java and Python, its acceptance
by the parallel scientific programming community is still tentative. In this
latter domain performance is invariably of paramount importance, where even
C++ is considered suspect, primarily because of real or perceived loss of
performance. On the other hand, various factors practically dictate the use
of language features that provide higher level abstractions than do C or older
FORTRAN standards. These include increasingly complex physics models,
numerical algorithms, and hardware--deep memory hierarchies,
exponentially-increasing numbers of processors, and the advent of multi- and
many-core processors and heterogeneous architectures.

This workshop seeks to bring together practitioners and researchers in this
growing field to `compare notes' on their work. The emphasis is on identifying
specific problems impeding greater acceptance and widespread use of
object-oriented programming in scientific computing; proposed and implemented
solutions to these problems; and new or novel approaches, techniques or idioms
for scientific and/or parallel computing. Presentations of work in progress
are welcome.

Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

* tried or proposed programming language alternatives to C++;
* performance issues and their realized or proposed resolution;
* issues specific to handling or abstracting parallelism, including
the handling or abstraction of heterogeneous architectures;
* specific points of concern for progress and acceptance of
object-oriented scientific computing;
* existing, developing, or proposed software;
* frameworks and tools for scientific object-oriented computing;
* schemes for user-level fault tolerance;
* grand visions (of relevance).

The workshop will consist of a sequences of presentations each followed by a
discussion session. The workshop will conclude with an overall discussion.
We expect the majority of the participants to give presentations.

For authors of accepted presentations who require justification for travel the
organizers can provide official letters of invitation.

PUBLICATION

Full papers accepted to the workshop will be published as a proceedings either
in the Springer LNCS series or in the John von Neumann Institute for Computing

BoostCon'08 Early Registration Deadline

2008-04-01T19:02:47Z

Reminder: early registration for BoostCon'08 closes Monday, April 7.
It's still not too late to avoid the late registration fee for what may
be the finest C++ event of 2008.

For the 2nd annual Boost C++ libraries conference, we've put together a
fantastic program crowned by a keynote address from Bjarne Stroustrup.
In addition to existing Boost libraries, we're covering technology of
interest to any C++ developer trying to stay on the cutting edge,
including hands-on sessions with features from the upcoming 2nd version
of the C++ standard. This year we've also added a collection of short
"author's corner" sessions for those of you who want an inside
perspective on how advanced libraries are developed. See
http://www.boostcon.com/program for details.

BoostCon 2008 will be hosted at Aspen Center for Physics, one of the
most beautiful meeting sites in the world, and a great venue for
collaboration and discovery. The combination of a relaxed pace and
intense inquiry made BoostCon'07 an event to remember, and we expect no
less for this year. Please visit http://www.boostcon.com/registration
to register.

Thanks!

Pion Network Library 0.5.4

2008-03-10T11:47:27Z

In conjunction with the first alpha release of our Pion CEP Platform,
Atomic Labs is happy to announce a new release (v0.5.4) of the Pion
Network Library, an active, fully-functional and Boost-licensed HTTP
1.0/1.1 client/server library built on top of asio.

This new release contains several enhancements, including the ability
to define alternative thread management and work scheduling for each
server instance (PionScheduler is no longer a singleton), and the
ability to bind any function object (or function if you use
boost::bind) to an HTTP resource (the use of WebService plugins is now
optional). We've also added a std::basic_iostream wrapper for
TCPConnection objects called TCPStream.

In addition, we fixed several bugs that were identified within the
last (v0.5.2) release, including issues with parsing chunked entity
content, and with parsing responses that include neither "Content-
Length" nor "Transfer-Encoding" HTTP headers. Also, the HTTPRequest
and HTTPResponse objects now sort HTTP headers using a case-
insensitive map, so lookups should now work properly regardless of the
capitalization used (if any).

Although we have several new things planned for the next few months
(such as adding support for user authentication), the networking
library is now mostly stabilized and ready for general use.

The Pion CEP Platform is open source software, published under the GNU
Affero GPL license. The platform is a real-time event processing
engine that is designed to be extremely extensible through the use
plugins. Plugins can be developed to provide specialized data
processing logic, web services, and to enable support for different
data encoding formats and databases.

You can learn more and download releases at http://www.pion.org

Take care,
-Mike

First Call For Papers -- GPCE'08

2008-02-19T18:35:29Z

Call for Papers

Seventh International Conference on
Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE 2008)

October 19-23, 2008
Nashville, Tennessee
(co-located with OOPSLA 2008)

http://www.gpce.org

Important Dates:

* Submission of abstracts: May 12, 2008
* Submission: May 19, 2008
* Notification: June 30, 2008

* Tutorial and workshop proposals: March 30, 2008
* Tutorial and workshop notification: April 5, 2008

Scope

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 (DSLs) (elevating program specifications to
compact domain-specific notations that are easier to write, maintain,
and analyze) are key technologies for automating program development.

The International Conference on Generative Programming and Component
Engineering provides a venue for researchers and practitioners
interested in techniques for enhancing the productivity, quality, and
time-to-market in software development that stems from deploying
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.

Submissions

Research papers:

10 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls) reporting
original research results that contribute to scientific knowledge in
the areas listed below (the PC chair can advise on appropriateness).

Experience reports:

2 to 4 pages in length in SIGPLAN proceedings style
(sigplanconf.cls). We encourage experience reports that provide
concrete evidence with regards to the efficacy of generative
technologies in industrial applications.

Topics

GPCE seeks contributions in software engineering and in programming
languages related (but not limited) to:

* Generative programming
o Reuse, meta-programming, partial evaluation, multi-stage
and
multi-level languages, step-wise refinement,
and generic programming
o Semantics, type systems, symbolic computation, linking and
explicit substitution, in-lining and macros, templates, and
program transformation
o Runtime code generation, compilation, active libraries,
synthesis from specifications, development methods,
generation of
non-code artifacts, formal methods, and reflection
* Generative techniques for
o Product-line architectures
o Distributed, real-time and embedded systems
o Model-driven development and architecture
o Resource bounded/safety critical systems.
* Component-based software engineering
o Reuse, distributed platforms and middleware, distributed
systems, evolution, patterns, development methods,
deployment and
configuration techniques, and formal methods
* Integration of generative and component-based approaches
* Domain engineering and domain analysis
o Domain-specific languages including visual and UML-based
DSLs
* Separation of concerns
o Aspect-oriented and feature-oriented programming,
o Intentional programming and multi-dimensional separation of
concerns
* Industrial applications of the above

Experience reports on applications of these techniques to real-world
problems are especially encouraged, as are research papers that relate
ideas and concepts from several of these topics, or bridge the gap
between theory and practice. The program chair is happy to advise on
the appropriateness of a particular subject.

Submissions must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy. Please
contact
the program chair if you have any questions about how this policy
applies
to your paper (gpce2008 at gpce.org).
