First European Workshop on Domain-Specific Visual Languages

MetaCase is organizing the Workshop on Domain-Specific Visual Languages to be held on September 22, 2003 at the Second International Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GCPE´03) conference. 

Following the past years' successes at several OOPSLA conferences held in the USA, Domain-Specific Visual Languages (DSVL) workshop will be organized this year in Europe, Erfurt, Germany. The workshop is expected to have a high attendance by industry practitioners, in addition to regular conference attendees. Special attention will be paid, in accordance with the GPCE profile, to generative aspects behind Domain-Specific Modeling.

As the commercial production of software systems moves towards being a traditional industry, automation will necessarily play a more substantial role in this industry, just as it plays a key role in the production of traditional commodities such as garments, automobiles, chemicals, and electronics. GPCE is a conference promoting the application and innovation of foundational techniques for supporting automatic program generation. and its goal is to provide a meeting place for researchers and practitioners interested in cutting edge approaches to software development.
