1. INTRODUCTION
=========================================================
ECOOP '96 is a five-day event. It will feature keynote talks by Adele
Goldberg 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!

==========================================================
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:
---------- 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 whetherwe 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.

6. GENERAL INFORMATION & REGISTRATION
==========================================================
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.
