SCOPE


GPCE is a programming languages conference focusing on techniques and

tools for code generation, language implementation, and product-line

development. GPCE seeks conceptual, theoretical, empirical, and technical

contributions to its topics of interest, which include but are not

limited to:


* program transformation, staging, macro systems, preprocessors, program

synthesis, and code-recommendation systems,

* domain-specific languages, language embedding, language design, and

language workbenches,

* feature-oriented programming, domain engineering, and feature

interactions,

* applications and properties of code generation, language

implementation, and product-line development.


Authors are welcome to check with the PC chair whether their planned

papers are in scope.


PAPER SELECTION


The GPCE program committee will evaluate each submission according to the

following selection citeria:


* Novelty. Papers must present new ideas or evidence and place them

appropriately within the context established by previous research in

the field.

* Significance. The results in the paper must have the potential to add

to the state of the art or practice in significant ways.

* Evidence. The paper must present evidence supporting its claims.

Examples of evidence include formalizations and proofs, implemented

systems, experimental results, statistical analyses, and case studies.

* Clarity. The paper must present its contributions and results clearly.


PAPER SUBMISSION


GPCE solicits three kinds of submissions. All submissions must use the

ACM SIGPLAN Conference Format and 10 point font.


* Full Papers reporting original and unpublished results of research that

contribute to scientific knowledge in any GPCE topic listed above. Full

paper submissions must not exceed 12 pages excluding bibliography.


* Short Papers presenting unconventional ideas or visions about any GPCE

topic listed above. Short papers do not always require complete results

as in the case of a full paper. In this way, authors can introduce new

ideas to the community and get early feedback. Please note that short

papers are not intended to be position statements. Short papers are

included in the proceedings and will be presented at the conference.

Short paper submissions must not exceed 6 pages excluding bibliography.


* Tool Demonstrations presenting tools for any GPCE topic listed above.

Tools must be available for use and must not be purely commercial.

Submissions must provide a tool description not exceeding 6 pages

excluding bibliography and a separate demonstration outline including

screenshots also not exceeding 6 pages. Tool demonstrations must have

the keywords “Tool Demo” or “Tool Demonstration” in their title. If the

submission is accepted, the tool description will be published in the

proceedings. The demonstration outline will only be used by the program

committee for evaluating the submission.


For additional information, clarification, or answers to questions

please contact the program chair.
