Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by
making them more general. Generic programs often embody
non-traditional kinds of polymorphism; ordinary programs are
obtained from them by suitably instantiating their parameters. In
contrast with normal programs, the parameters of a generic program
are often quite rich in structure; for example, they may be other
programs, types or type constructors, class hierarchies, or even
programming paradigms.
Generic programming techniques have always been of interest,
both to practitioners and to theoreticians, but only recently have
generic programming techniques become a specific focus of research
in the functional and object-oriented programming language
communities.
Generic Programming comprises the edited proceedings of the
Working Conference on Generic Programming, which was sponsored by
the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and
held in Dagstuhl, Germany in July 2002. With contributions from
leading researchers around the world, this volume captures the
state of the art in this important emerging area.
