Overview
--------

The conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering
offers practitioners and tool-developers an opportunity to give an
in-depth technical tutorial of products, tools, techniques or approaches
supporting program generation, domain-specific modeling, generative
programming, template meta-programming, aspect-oriented software
development, model-driven architecture, component generation, and other
related topics.

Proposals for high-quality tutorials in all areas of generative
programming and component-based development, from academic research to
industrial applications, are solicited. Tutorial levels may be
introductory, intermediate, or advanced. 

A tutorial's basic purpose is to give a deeper or more covering insight
into its area than a conventional lecture would do. That is why it
extends over a half or a full day. This gives the speaker better
possibilities to structure the tutorial in a proper manner. 

The topic of a tutorial can come from a truly broad spectrum. Any
interesting theme from or related to the GPCE'04 Call for Papers topic
list is welcome, from surveys to experience reports or specialized
research topics. However, one should keep in mind that a tutorial can be
expected to attract a reasonable number of participants (at least 6
participants). This is most likely the case if the topic is new or
relevant to a broad community. If you think that you are highly
experienced in a certain area of object-orientation and that others
could benefit from sharing this experience with you, you should submit a
proposal.

The specific format for tutorial submissions can be found on the web
site at: http://www.program-transformation.org/Gpce/CallForTutorials


OOPSLA 2004 Co-location
-----------------------

Because GPCE 2004 is co-located with OOPSLA 2004 and because there is
possibly some conceptual overlap, GPCE tutorials will be evaluated in
consultation with the OOPSLA tutorials chair.
