This quantity constitutes the complaints of the second one overseas convention on Generative Programming and part Engineering (GPCE 2003), held September 22–25, 2003, in Erfurt, Germany, backed through the NetObjectDays German commercial software program improvement occasion, in cooperation with the ACM SIGPLAN and SIGSOFT societies. GPCE was once created as an e?ort to convey - getherresearchersworkingonboththeprogramminglanguagesandthesoftware engineeringsideofprogramgenerationandcomponentengineering. Thecommon subject of software iteration and part engineering is the domain-speci?c nature of either techniques. reckoning on the features of a site, both a generative or a compositional technical answer will be applicable. in precisely its moment 12 months, GPCE has proven loads of promise for development a powerful group. The reaction to the decision for papers was once first-class, with sixty two submissions to the technical application, 2 of that have been later withdrawn. every one paper obtained among 3 and ?ve reports, lots of them fairly thorough and optimistically precious to all authors. The digital assembly allowed for - depthdiscussionsofallsubmissions,oftentoamuchgreaterextentthanpossible in a actual workstation assembly. therefore, 21 papers have been chosen for presentation on the convention and are incorporated during this quantity, including abstracts for the invited talks via Olivier Danvy and Peri Tarr. Of the authorized papers, three are co-authored by means of computer individuals (from a complete of five workstation submissions). We attempted not easy to make sure equity and carry notebook submissions to a excessive regular. The EDAS convention submission approach used to be used to regulate the paper submissions. Our EDAS set up used to be supported through Blair MacIntyre, who was once particularlyhelpfulinresolvingtechnicalissueswiththesystem.
