Motivation for GPCE4QoS

• Current GPCE focus predominantly on meeting
  application functional requirements
• Next generation distributed systems
• Multiple QoS (i.e., systemic) requirements
• Illustrate SOA characteristics i.e., composition
  and collaboration of services
• Lack of tools to address QoS provisioning

How can Generative Programming and Component
Engineering help resolve these challenges?

Potential GPCE4QoS Topics

• The role of GPCE in QoS provisioning across all
  phases of the software lifecycle
• Domain-specific modeling languages and model
  transformations for QoS provisioning
• QoS modeling and analysis allowing tradeoffs
  along different QoS dimensions
• Generative programming for QoS validation and
  verification tools in distributed systems
• Role of aspect-oriented program transformation
  techniques in QoS provisioning
• Reflection and meta programming as techniques for
  adaptive QoS provisioning
• Generative programming in different forms of
  computing e.g., grid
• Generative programming for performance
  optimizations leveraging new hardware
  architectures, such as multi cores.
