SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION
CNIT Paris (La Defense), June 26-29, 1990
and International Object-Oriented Week
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
TOOLS '89 was the first large-scale event to be devoted
to the practical applications of object-oriented technology.
The conference drew together more than 500 participants from
all over the world.
TOOLS '90 will continue the tradition of excellence and
practicality established by TOOLS '89. To be held in the
last week of June, TOOLS '90 will include tutorials,
workshops, invited presentations, submitted papers, and an
exhibition of industrial and research object-oriented tools.
The conference format will include:
+ Tutorials (on June 26-27) addressing major object-
oriented languages (such as Smalltalk, Eiffel,
Objective-C, C++, CLOS), Object-Oriented Databases,
Object-Oriented Design methods and other key topics.
+ Invited presentations by international object-
oriented experts.
+ Submitted papers on important practical aspects of
object-oriented techniques.
+ Demonstrations of object-oriented tools, languages,
environments, databases and their applications.
The Program Committee chairman is Jean Bezivin; the
conference chairman is Bertrand Meyer.
The conference will again be held in the exciting new
CNIT center in Paris (La Defense), a business and conference
center devoted entirely to technologies of the future. The
new CNIT, opening this September, will be the permanent home
of the Paris Infomart, an ongoing exhibition of advanced
computer tools and applications.
SUBMITTING A PAPER
TOOLS '90 is now soliciting papers on all aspects of
object-oriented technology. All submitted papers should have
a strong practical bent and emphasize applications.
Suggested topics include:
+ Reports of actual experiences with object-oriented
tools and methods.

interest to industry practitioners.

papers (8 to 15 single-spaced pages) or extended abstracts
(5 or more pages including basic bibliography). Submissions
