The Code Generation conference is Europe's leading event on Code Generation and Model-Driven Software Development. The event has a a strong practical focus and an emphasis on sharing experiences and knowledge.

Update 16th January 2010. The Call for Speakers has now closed and we are now reviewing session proposals. The conference programme will be available at the end of February.

WHO'S CG2010 FOR?

CG2010 is for people who want to successfully apply or just learn more about the following topics:

• Code Generation !
• Domain-Specific Languages
• Model-Driven Software Development
• Model-Driven Architecture
• Eclipse Modelling Tools
• Executable UML
• Software Factories and Software Product Lines
• Generative programming and other similar approaches.

The focus throughout the event is on practical experience of these tools and technologies with a range of sessions from beginner to expert.

CG2010 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

We are very pleased to introduce Dave Thomas (Pragmatic Programmers) and Eelco Visser (Delft University of Technology) as conference keynote speakers. Full details of Dave's and Eelco's keynote talks will appear here shortly.

Dave Thomas KEYNOTE - The Imaginary Sickness of the Middle-Class Gentleman "For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing anything about it…” So says M. Jourdain in Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme. But, writing 340 years ago, Molière could have been writing about me. For I too have been writing a kind of prose—Domain Specific Languages—for about 40 years. Now, like Jourdain, I find there's a name for what I do, and I find that there are professors studying it and conferences discussing it. How exciting! But as Molière also said, “Nearly all men die of their remedies, and not of their illnesses.” And that's a trap we seem to be rushing towards with our new enthusiasm for DSLs. So in this talk we'll look at DSLs, and why most of them seem to have too little D and too much L. Bring rotten fruit. Dave Thomas is a programmer.

Eelco Visser Eelco Visser is associate professor at Delft University of Technology where he conducts research in the areas of model-driven engineering, domain-specific languages, program transformation, and software deployment. Together with his students he has designed and implemented domain-specific languages for syntax definition (SDF), program transformation (Stratego), software deployment (Nix), and web application development (WebDSL). In the research project 'Model-Driven Software Evolution' he is investigating the introduction of domain-specific languages as a standard software development tool, including the effective and efficient construction of DSLs, but also the maintenance of DSLs and systems built with them. Eelco holds an MSc and PhD in computer science from the University of Amsterdam. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Oregon Graduate Institute and an assistant professor at Utrecht University. He has published over 50 papers in peer-reviewed venues and has served on many program committees of program generation-related conferences including GPCE,OOPSLA, ECOOP, ASE, MODELS, LDTA, SCAM, RTA, and PEPM. He was program (co-)chair of RULE'02, GPCE'04, PEPM'07 and is general chair of GPCE 2010.

WHAT PEOPLE SAID ABOUT OUR PREVIOUS EVENTS

"I'll definitely try to attend next year and will recommend this conference to my colleagues and customers."

"The combined—for that matter, individual—expertise present was remarkable, and presented a tremendous opportunity for knowledge exchange."

"The presentations were all top quality, making it often difficult to decide between the concurrently running sessions. The wealth of MDD knowledge present at the event was impressive, not only from the presenters, but from the other delegates as well."

"I enjoyed the conference very much, it has been the best conference of the last years I’ve been to. A very good selection of speakers, but I also think that the level of expertise of the audience was very high, much higher than I expected. ... it gives the opportunity to dig much deeper."

"I've been working in domain-specific modelling for a dozen years … and in this time this has been the highest-quality conference on this topic that I've been to - and I've been to a few."

"Three very long, exhausting but thoroughly enjoyable and very informative days."

"[A] great opportunity to meet with influential practitioners in the field."
