1. INTRODUCTION
=========================================================
ECOOP '96 is a five-day event. It will feature keynote talks by Adele
Goldberg
(ParcPlace-Digi-talk Inc.) and Fran�ois Bancilhon (O2 Technology),
conference
sessions, panels, tutorials, workshops, exhibitions, demonstrations and
posters.
The conference site Linz is located on the Danube, in the heart of
Austria right between
Vienna and Salzburg. The research and development ambiance of the city is
ideally
suited to hosting conferences like ECOOP: on the one hand CS departments
with 16
chairs and over 2200 students, on the other hand Austria's main
industrial site with
many high-tech companies; on the one hand a famous past not least due to
Johannes
Kepler's discoveries, on the other hand an exciting present with research
endeavours in
object-oriented technology.
Welcome to ECOOP '96 in Linz, Austria!

2. TECHNICAL PROGRAMME
==========================================================
ECOOP '96 Technical Programme
-----------------------------
Linz is welcoming the 10th edition of ECOOP.
For a decade, ECOOP has established itself as an academic conference
with a very high
quality standard. In the same time, ECOOP has mainly contributed to the
dissemination
of the object-oriented technology in the software industry.
The ECOOP '96 programme committee had the hard task to select 21 papers
from 173
submissions coming from all over the world. It has set up a programme
that covers a
wide range of topics including applications, programming languages,
implementation,
specification, distribution, databases and design.
Pierre COINTE
Programme Chair
ECOOP '96 Panels
----------------
This year ECOOP has two panel discussions on important topics that have
hardly been
treated at recent ECOOPs; but both are now "reinforced" by closely
related tutorials,
workshops or papers.
One panel is about teaching, but it should interest also our industrial
participants.
The other panel is about a particular application area - bank and finance
- but it should
interest also our academic participants.

9.15-9.30 Welcome and Opening Remarks
9.30-10.30 Keynote 1: Adele Goldberg (ParcPlace-Digitalk Inc.):
---------- Measurement Strategies
After ten years of attention to the development and use of object
technology, how do we
measure up? In software development projects, we measure for two
reasons: to find
out how we are doing relative to plan, and to determine whether we have
reached our
stated goals. We measure by counting those objective attributes of
projects - products,
processes, and resources - that provide useful information for managers,
developers,
and customers alike. But we only measure when we clearly understand how
to
objectively count and how what we count answers the questions we pose
about our
goals. A software code testing strategy is therefore only a part of an
overall
measurement program.
In this talk, I identify a technique for setting up an effective
measurement program. The
technique combines the ideas proposed in earlier publications about
project management
decision frameworks with basic quality assurance strategies. An
application of this
technique is used to measure whether we, as an industry, are meeting our
goals for
object technology.
Dr. Adele Goldberg serves as Chairman of the Board and a founder of
ParcPlace-
Digitalk, Inc. Prior to the creation of ParcPlace, Adele received a
Ph.D. in Information
Science from the University of Chicago and spent 14 years as researcher
and laboratory
manager of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. From 1984-1986, Adele served
as
president of the ACM, the computer professional society. Solely and with
others,
Adele wrote the definitive books on the Smalltalk-80 system and has
authored
numerous papers on project management and analysis methodology using
object-
oriented technology. Dr. Goldberg edited "The History of Personal
Workstations",
published jointly by the ACM and Addison-Wesley in 1988 as part of the
ACM Press
Book Series of the History of Computing which she organized, and
co-edited "Visual
Object-Oriented Programming" with Margaret Burnett and Ted Lewis. In
1995, a new
book on software engineering appeared entitled "Succeeding With Objects:
Decision
Frameworks for Project Management" with Kenneth S. Rubin. She was
recipient of
the ACM Systems Software Award in 1987 along with Dan Ignalls and Alan
Kay, PC
Magazine's 1990 Lifetime Achievement Award for her significant
contributions to the
personal computer industry, is a Fellow of the ACM, and was honored in
1995 with the
Reed College Howard Vollum Award for contributions to science and
technology. She
is currently a member of the scientific advisory board of the German
National Research
Centers (GMD).

--------------------
9.15-10.30 Keynote 2: Fran�ois Bancilhon (O2-Technology):
---------- Will Europe ever produce and sell objects?
Europe has progressively dropped out of a number of hardware markets
(microprocessors, workstations, PC, scientific computers, etc.). It has
never been very
active (despite a number of bright exceptions) on the software product
market
(languages, databases, operating systems, tools, etc.).
The quality and the success of this conference is a good demonstration of
both the
quality of European research and of the interest European users have in
object
technology. In the long run, how-ever, the presence of this active
community can only
be justified by its participation in a global industrial effort to
deliver object technology to
users. Object technology, as an emerging market represent a tremendous
opportunity
and it is worth wondering whether Europe will seize it. I will try to
identify some of the
reasons for the current state of the European software industry, study
some of the
success stories in this area and try to draw some conclusions on what
could be done to
change the current situation.
Born in 1948, Fran�ois Bancilhon got his PhD from the University of
Michigan in
1976, and the University of Paris XI in 1980. He was a researcher at
INRIA from 1976
to 1980, doing theoretical work on relational databases. He was a
professor at the
University of Paris XI from 1981 to 1984 where he worked on database
machines. He
was a team leader & chief architect at MCC, Austin, Texas, from 1984 to
1986
developping a deductive database system. He managed the Altair R&D
consortium in
France from 1986 to 1991. This group designed and developed O2, an object
database
management system. In 1991, he founded O2-Technology, (Versailles and
Palo Alto).
O2-Technology is number One on the European object database market.

==========================================================
GENERAL INFORMATION
-------------------
Conference Location
-------------------
ECOOP `96, the 10th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming,
will be
held on the campus of the Johannes Kepler University of Linz, Austria.
There are
around 18.000 students enrolled, with over 2.200 in computer science and
computer
science applied to economics. The computer science related departments
have 16 chairs
with a broad spectrum of CS fields.
Linz is located on the Danube, in the heart of Austria right between
Vienna and
Salzburg. Linz is surrounded by the gentle hills of the Bohemian
landscape to the north,
and by the starting Alps to the west where the picturesque Salzkammergut
with its lakes
and hills is situated. Linz has around 200.000 residents, and it is
famous not only but
also for its Linzer Torte (delicious cake), Mozart's Linz Symphony, for
the astronomer
Johannes Kepler, and for the composer Anton Bruckner. Linz is well-known
around
the world because of the Ars Electronica, a Festival of Music taking
place at the Danube
every year. You can also find up-to-date information on Linz on the
Internet:
(http://www.gup.uni-linz.ac.at:8001/CityOfLinz).
Travel to Linz
--------------
Linz has an airport with direct flights from / to Vienna, Salzburg, Graz,
Frankfurt,
D�sseldorf, Stuttgart, Zurich, Berlin and connections to all destinations
worldwide with
stopover in Vienna.
There exists a very comfortable train service with at least one train
every hour from and
to Vienna (app. 2 hours) and Salzburg (app. 1 hour). Linz can easily be
reached by car
from Munich, Salzburg, Vienna (motorway A1), Passau (A8) and Graz (A9).
Electronic mail
---------------
Internet access will be provided.
