                                  6th GPCE
                       Young Researchers Workshop 2004

                             In conjunction with

          Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE'04)

                               Co-located with

                                 OOPSLA 2004

Call for Papers

This call is of special interest to people who have recently started their
career in the domain of generative and component based software development
(the "young researchers"). We would like to encourage contributions from PhD
students, post-docs, and practitioners in industry. The topics of the workshop
are:

  * Component-based software engineering: Reuse, distributed platforms,
    distributed systems, evolution, analysis and design patterns, development
    methods, formal methods
  * Product line engineering: Architectures, scoping, domain analysis, product
    line implementation and testing, variability
  * Generative programming: Reuse, meta-programming, partial evaluation,
    multi-stage and multi-level languages
  * Runtime code generation, compilation, active libraries, synthesis from
    specifications, development methods, generation of non-code artifacts,
    formal methods, reflection
  * Separation of concerns: Aspect-oriented programming, intentional
    programming, and multi-dimensional separation of concerns
  * Integration of generative and component-based approaches
  * Domain engineering, analysis, and languages

Aims and Objectives

After the great success of the 5th GPCE Young Researchers Workshop (see the
5th GPCE Young Researchers Workshop website) this workshop which is
traditionally held in conjunction with the GPCE aims again at providing a
platform for young international researchers to present their work. The
presentations will be commented by experienced panelists. The workshop serves
as a forum for the participants to get in contact with other researchers in
the field and to become familiar with other approaches and future research
topics. Authors of accepted papers receive feedback and hints on their
research in a constructive and international atmosphere.

Submission Guidelines

Potential participants are asked to submit a short paper in English. It must
be no longer than 2500 words or five pages (including figures, tables, and
references). Format the paper according to the LNCS style (for the formatting
details see "Information for LNCS Authors") and submit your paper in either
Postscript format or PDF. The submission should be classified according to the
progress of the work, e.g. third year's PhD work. All submitted papers will
undergo a review process by a panel of renowned experts. All accepted papers
will be published as downloadable versions on the home page of the 6th GPCE
Young Researchers Workshop 2004; summaries of each paper will be published in
the Journal of Object Technology as a report about the workshop. The number of
accepted papers is limited to ten. Papers should be sent by e-mail (please use
the text GPCE-YRW-2004-Submission as subject of your mail) to Karine Arnout.

Workshop Structure

The workshop is intended to take one day during the GPCE conference. Accepted
papers have to be presented at the workshop by their authors. Afterwards the
presenters receive constructive feedback and hints from invited panelists who
are experienced experts in the workshop topics. Furthermore there will be time
for discussion with the whole audience about the presented work.
