FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

							 FIRST CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGSOFT co-located with ICFP'05 and TFP'05

AVAILABLE: Calls for WORKSHOP and TUTORIAL PROPOSALS FORTHCOMING: Calls for papers and demonstrations (by mid January)

IMPORTANT DATES

TOPICS. GPCE seeks contributions both in software engineering and in programming languages related (but not limited) to:

Authors are invited to submit a title and abstract by March 12, 2004, and a full paper by March 19, 2004. These deadlines are firm. Simultaneous submission to other venues and submission of previously published material are not allowed. Electronic submission will be required, except by special arrangement with the program chairs. Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 17, 2004. Final versions of accepted papers must be submitted by July 25, 2004.

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html.

Submissions must be in PDF, must conform to the LNCS style, and be no longer than 15 pages. For the formatting details see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Work related to generative programming and component engineering can also be presented in other forms than papers. GPCE has separate days for tutorials and workshops. During the conference there are sessions for tool demonstrations and practitioner reports. If you want to organize a workshop, present a tutorial, or demonstration, see the information on the conference website for details about format and submission. Contact the relevant chair for more information.

Contributions to GPCE should belong to the following categories:

WORKSHOPS providing intensive collaborative environments, where generative and component technologists meet to discuss (and solve) challenging problems facing the field.

TUTORIALS giving a deeper or broader insight than conventional lectures (they are expected to extend over a half or a full day). Tutorials can be on any theme from or related to the topics above: surveys, experience reports or specialized research topics. However, a tutorial is expected to attract a reasonable number of participants (at least 10).

PAPERS reporting research results and/or experience related to the topics above (PC co-chairs can advise on appropriateness). We especially encouraged original high-quality reports on applications to real-world problems, relating ideas and concepts from several topics, or bridging the gap between theory and practice.

DEMOS covering novel tools, techniques or ideas; work in progress; or proven techniques used in real world scenarios. Demos will be selected based on technical content, practical or academic relevance, and their feasibility w.r.t. the infrastructure locally available. Presentations must focus on the technical content (product marketing would be inappropriate).
