Welcome to the homepage of IFIP TC-2 working group on

Program Generation (WG 2.11)

Generative approaches have the potential to revolutionize software development as automation and components revolutionized manufacturing. At the same time, the abundancy of current research in this area indicates that there is a host of technical problems both at the foundational and engineering levels. As such, the aim of this Working Group of researchers and practitioners is to promote progress in this area.
