Co-hosted with Net.Object Days 2001 and organized by the Working Group
"Generative and Component-Based Software Engineering" of the German
"Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V."
Scope
=====
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 programming and
component-based engineering and to stimulate integrative work. The
conference will include a technical papers session and pre-conference
tutorials.
