JSSST International Symposium Series
International Symposium on
Object Technologies for Advanced Software
Kanazawa, Japan, November 4-6, 1993
Sponsored by:
Japan Society for Software Science and Technology (JSSST)
Supported by:
Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST)
In cooperation with (requesting):
ACM, IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY, IEICE, IPSJ
AIM:
Object technologies are attracting much attention in diverse areas
of research and development for advanced software. Object-oriented
(OO) programming holds a great promise in reducing the complexity of
large scale software development, and recent research in this field
promises to open up a new paradigm for parallel and reflective
computing. Object-oriented databases are expected to serve as a
model for next generation database systems, by overcoming the
limitations of conventional data models. Recently, research in
software object bases is aimed at developing a uniform approach to
the management of software artifacts produced in the software
development process, such as specifications, manuals, programs, and
test data, which traditionally were managed in a very ad-hoc and
arbitrary manner.
Active research and experimentation on object technologies in these
diverse areas suggest that there are some underlying, fundamental
principles common to a wide range of software development
activities. The first of the JSSST international series of symposia
focuses on this topic. The aim of this symposium is to bring
together leading researchers in the areas of object-oriented
programming, object-oriented databases, and software object bases.
We hope to promote an understanding of object technologies in a
wider context and to make progress towards the goal of finding a
better framework for future advanced software development.
SCOPE:
The scope of this symposium includes advanced object technologies in
programming, database systems, and software processes. Specific
aspects of such object technologies include, but are not limited to,
the theory and practice of:
OO programming languages
OO database management systems
OO database programming languages
Object management in software processes
OO software development and environments
Design and development of OO software systems
Principles and design of software object bases
OO reflective programming
OO concurrent/parallel programming
OO operating systems
Active objects
Constraint-based object models
Supporting views in object base systems
Version mechanisms in object base systems
OO user interfaces
