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 (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 componentry 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. As GPCE is
co-located with ESWEEK this year, we also especially encourage papers
from the embedded systems community. ESWEEK participants are welcome to
attend GPCE'07 technical presentation without additional charge.
