SCOPE.  Generative and component approaches have the potential to
revolutionize software development in a similar way as 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 and maintain) are key technologies for automating program
development.

GPCE arose as a joint conference, merging the conference on Generative
and Component-Based Software Engineering (GCSE) and the workshop on
Semantics, Applications, and Implementation of Program Generation
(SAIG). The goal of GPCE is to provide a meeting place for researchers
and practitioners interested in cutting edge approaches to software
development. We aim to foster further cross-fertilization between the
software engineering research community and the programming languages
community, in addition to supporting the original research goals of
both the GCSE and the SAIG communities.
