Fourth International Workshop on Persistent Object Systems
Design, Implementation and Use
Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, USA
23rd - 27th September 1990
In 1985 and 1987 two workshops on persistent object systems were
held in Appin, Scotland. The third workshop in the series was held in
Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. The fourth workshop is to be held
in Marthas Vineyard, Massachusetts, USA. The theme of the workshop will
again be the design, implementation and use of persistent object systems.
It is hoped that a number of people from around the world actively
engaged in research in this area will attend the workshop to exchange ideas
and experiences. The workshop will have an informal atmosphere with plenty
of time for discussion. Proposals are requested for contributions to the
persistent object systems workshop. These should give as detailed an
abstract as possible of the paper to be presented, and a description of the
current research work or practical implementation which provides the
experience and basis for the contribution.
Specific areas of interest include:
Large scale persistent systems
Persistent Object Stores
Methodologies for persistent programming
Architectures for supporting persistence
Type systems and persistence
Concurrency, persistence and transactions
Tools for the management of persistent systems
Compilers for languages supporting persistence
Persistent and database programming languages
Proposals should submitted by 1st April 1990. On receipt of the proposals,
the committee will select those which develop well the themes of the workshop,
which are complementary or, between them, expose rival approaches to critical
issues. Participants will be invited by 15th June. The number of participants
will be limited to a maximum of 45, so that there is time to pursue issues in
detail and to develop working relationships.
Participants will be required to send us a draft paper, in camera ready form,
by 1st August, for assembly. After the workshop we intend to collect the
papers, revised in response to the dialogue of the workshop, and distribute
them in the form of a proceedings. It is hoped that some sponsorship will be
received from industrial and research organisations to help keep costs to a
minimum and to make available some assistance for travel.
Please send proposals to either of the following addresses by 1st April, 1990.
