CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
OBJECT-BASED CONCURRENT PROGRAMMING
San Diego, California
25-26 September 1988 (Workshop prior to OOPSLA~'88)
This workshop is concerned with research in object-based
concurrency. Exploitation of parallelism using the notion
of objects has proved useful and powerful in various areas
of computer science and artificial intelligence.
Unfortunately, new ideas and techniques seems to have
developed independently in these areas. The workshop will
provide a forum where researchers in different areas can
convene and exchange their ideas.
A number of invited speakers will review concepts and issues
relating to object-based concurrent programming. Participants
should submit either a position paper (2-3 pages) or an
extended abstract (5-10 double-spaced pages) describing work
relevant to object-based programming and concurrency to the
workshop organizers at the address below. A small number of
"interested observers" will also be invited. If you would
like to be an observer, please submit a written request to
attend, with justification.
We plan to allocate ample time for the presentation of
accepted papers and for informal discussion. The workshop
record is expected to be published, either in SIGPLAN Notices,
or in a revised form as a book.
Suggested topics include, but are not necessarily limited to:
Computational Models of Object-Based Concurrency
Novel Concurrent Object-Based or Multi-Paradigm Languages
Transformation for Concurrent Object-Based Programs
Inheritance in Concurrent Object-Based Systems
Computational Reflection
Cooperative Transaction Modeling
Distributed Database Architectures
Persistent Concurrent Systems
Concurrent Debugging Schemes
Software Design/Development Methodology
Distributed Simulation
Distributed Problem Solving
Applications in Robotics and Office Information Systems
Architecture and Implementation Techniques
