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 6th GPCE Young Researchers Workshop (see 
the 6th 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 willundergo a review process by a panel of 
renowned experts. All accepted papers will be published as downloadable 
versions on the home page of the 7th GPCE Young Researchers Workshop 2005. 
The number of accepted papers is limited to ten. Papers should be sent by 
e-mail (please use the text GPCE-YRW-2005-Submission as subject of your 
mail) to the address listed in the Workshop Website and Email section.

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.
