Transformer goes Braga/Portugal: 06-11 July -- GTTSE 2009

So we are looking forward 8 "long" tutorials on different parts of the transformation/generation space of software engineering. For example, Bran Selic will stand in for model-based engineering and Jim Cordy will sketch his ultimate TXL cookbook. See the full program below. In addition, we will host a "research 2.0" event with Jean-Marie Favre and his companion Denis Avrilionis of One Tree Technologies as the moderators or speakers. Yet in addition, there are another 6 short tutorials. We are also in the process of putting together a participants' workshop. Combined with the social program, this will be a packed week as in previous years.

At this point, we have 80+ registered participants.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE:

June 7

The Call for Participation follows.

GTTSE 2009, 06-11 July, 2009, Braga, Portugal

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

https://gttse.wikidot.com/

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.
