The Lund C++ Seminars --- 13-14 June 1991 I am happy to invite you to the Lund C++ Seminars, an outstanding event for anybody interested in the C++ programming language. Several of the leading authorities on C++ will give their favourite C++ seminar in a relaxed and non-commercial setting. =============================================================================== Seminar Programme Bjarne Stroustrup: inventor of C++. --- There are many ways to stack a cat (this should be a talk on data-abstraction in different languages) Andrew Koenig: well-known C/C++ authority with a column in JOOP. --- An interesting C++ program (not only presented, but also discussed) Michael Vilot: chair of the library working group of the ANSI C++ committee. --- Building reuseable components in C++ William M. Miller: vice chair of the ANSI C++ committee. --- Storage management techniques in C++ Mike Ball: implementor of several (!) C++ compilers. --- Implementation of C++ Phillippe Gautron: specialist on templates and tasks. --- C++ task library Richard Holman: the supervisor of the HP Softbench project. --- C++ development environments Dmitry Lenkov: chairman of X3J16, the ANSI C++ committee. --- C++ debugging Steve Carter: convener of WG21, the ISO C++ committee. --- C++ standardization Jerry Schwartz: implementor of the i/o-stream library and well-known opponent to multiple inheritance. --- TBA Susan Waggoner: works at US West, a major user of C++. --- TBA Martin O'Riordan: C++ implementor at Microsoft. --- TBA Michael Tiemann: implementor of g++, the GNU C++ compiler. --- TBA TBA: To be announced. Note: The schedule is not yet completed, but the seminars will start Thursday 13:30. =============================================================================== C++ Language Overview William (Mike) Miller from Glockenspiel and vice-chair of the ANSI C++ committee will also give "C++ Language Overview," a 4 hour introduction to C++ for programmers not experienced in C++. We hope that you will be able to digest most of the seminars after this introduction, which starts on Thursday morning at 8:30. =============================================================================== How to get there, etc. The seminars are free of charge, but we may have to cover the copying costs for "C++ Language Overview". Attendees should not register, will get no food, no drinks, no T-shirt, no badges, no free software --- just C++ seminars. Location: M-building, Ole Roemers vaeg 1, Lund, Sweden. You may get to Lund by car, train or plane. The M-building is about 20 minutes' walking distance from Lund town center. =============================================================================== Background The ANSI C++ standardization committee (X3J16) and the ISO C++ Working Group (WG21) will hold their next meetings in Lund, Sweden, in June 1991. As host of these meetings, I have asked some of members of the committees to fly in a few days early to give a C++ seminar. I'm very happy to see these people presenting their "talk of preference" in Lund; I doubt that we will see such a group of highly qualified speakers soon again. In addition to these seminars, which are free, we will also hold "Advanced C++", a 4-day course given by Jonathan Shopiro from AT&T Unix Software Laboratories. Dates: 4-7 June 1991. =============================================================================== More information For more information, please contact Dag Bruck (dag@control.lth.se), Department of Automatic Control, Lund Institute of Technology, Box 118, S-221 00 Lund, Sweden.
