[aosd-announce] GTTSE summer school

[Ralf Laemmel]

Dear all,

the GTTSE summer school always has included some AOP/AOSD bits, while
its mission is broader: GTTSE brings together different communities of
software engineering with interests in software transformation. That
is, GTTSE is a blend of software language engineering, MDE,
re-engineering, reverse engineering, generative programming,
metaprogramming and program calculation.

We would be pleased if some of you may find this school interesting.
There are 80+ confirmed participants by now.
Please ask participants from previous years how they liked it.
The registration deadline is 7 June.

Regards,
Ralf

3rd International Summer School on
Generative and Transformational Techniques in Software Engineering

http://gttse.wikidot.com/

SUMMARY OF SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
* 8 Tutorials
* Research 2.0 event
* 6 Short Tutorials
* Participants Workshop


REGISTRATION DEADLINE:
June 7


SCOPE AND FORMAT

The summer school brings together PhD students, lecturers, technology
presenters, as well as other researchers and practitioners who are
interested in the generation and the transformation of programs, data,
models, meta-models, and documentation. This concerns many areas of
software engineering: software reverse and re-engineering,
model-driven approaches, automated software engineering, generic
language technology, to name a few. These areas differ with regard to
the specific sorts of meta-models (or grammars, schemas, formats etc.)
that underlie the involved artifacts, and with regard to the specific
techniques that are employed for the generation and the transformation
of the artifacts.  The tutorials are given by renowned representatives
of complementary approaches and problem domains. Each tutorial
combines foundations, methods, examples, and tool support. The program
of the summer school also features invited technology presentations,
which present setups for generative and transformational
techniques. These presentations complement each other in terms of the
chosen application domains, case studies, and the underlying
concepts. The program of the school also features a participants
workshop. All summer school material will be collected in proceedings
that are handed out to the participants. Formal proceedings will be
compiled after the summer school, where all contributions are
subjected to additional reviewing.

The formal proceedings of the previous two instances of the summer
school (2005 and 2007) were published as volumes 4143 and 5235 in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series of Springer-Verlag.
