---------------------------------------------------------------------- ECOOP '91 -- Call for Participation Workshop W7: Object-Oriented PhD Research July 16, 1991, Geneva, Switzerland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizers: Chris Laffra, SERC, Guus Ramackers, University of Leiden Who should attend: Doctoral students from European universities who have a research topic related to Object-Oriented Systems. Topic: This one-day workshop is intended to enhance the personal and professional development of PhD-level students who are working in the area of object-oriented systems. It will enable them to meet, to discuss their research, and to develop their working skills. It will also mark the creation of a European network for all OO research students, to enable them to exchange information, give help and support, and to give wider access to resources and methods. The workshop functions (annually) as an interactive platform for the network. All attendees of the workshop are asked to send a one-page abstract of their dissertation research. These abstracts will be bundled and distributed, preferably before the workshop takes place. If the number of responses exceeds 30 - 35, then a selection based on geographic distribution and topic will be made. In order to involve the people who cannot come, we will distribute notes of the workshop (apart from the list of all European graduate students and all abstracts sent in). The workshop will have an interactive form, where the participants work in groups. After an initial orientation and mutual introductions there will be three main sessions (technical discussions in sub-groups, and general discussions about (i) the process of obtaining a PhD in Europe and (ii) the process of writing & refereeing articles. This is followed by time for reflection, planning and feedback. time: July 16, 9:00-17:00.
