			   Call For Papers

		       Workshop on Advances in
		 Metaobject Protocols and Reflection
			     at ECOOP '95

============================= META '95 =============================

The concepts  of  object-oriented metalevel architectures,  metaobject
protocols   and reflection have  provided  much  understanding to  the
design  and implementation of advanced object  support systems such as
operating systems,  programming languages and  database architectures.
The principle  of structuring complex software systems using metalevel
architectures becomes more  and  more  important with  the   advent of
adaptable and    extensible implementations in     the area of  system
software and similar application support software. Recent developments
indicate  that these concepts are  emerging from purely prototype sys-
tems into real production-level software.

To foster this process, a workshop will be  held at the Ninth European
Conference on  Object-Oriented  Programming  (ECOOP) in   August. This
workshop  will give researchers  and  practitioners the opportunity to
discuss and exchange ideas and results.

A non-exhaustive list of topics include:

	- The use of MOPs and reflection in object-oriented frameworks,
	- System software (OS and networks),
	- Adaptable and extensible application support software,
	- Application of MOPs and reflection in production-level software,
	- Object Support Systems,
	- Open implementations,
	- Reflection in autonomous agents,
	- Experiences with MOPs and reflection in existing applications.
