INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION
Santa Barbara, California, July 29-August 1, 1991
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
Program Co-Chairs: Tim Korson and Vijay Vaishnavi
Conference Chair: Bertrand Meyer
In just two years, TOOLS has established itself as the major
international forum devoted to the practical applications of
object-oriented technology. TOOLS 1, 2, 3 and 4, held in
Europe (Paris) and the Pacific (Sydney) have set a unique
standard based on the following principles:
o Strong emphasis on the practice of object-oriented
technology and its application in industrial
environments, complementing the more academically-
oriented perspective of traditional conferences.
o Solid technical program archived in the refereed
proceedings.
o Balanced coverage of the wealth of approaches,
trends and variants which exists in the object-
oriented community.
o Combination of tutorials by recognized experts,
up-to-date exhibitions of products and services,
invited talks by innovators in the field, relevant
panel discussions, and technical papers targeted to
industry practictioners.
o Allocated time for discussions, user group meetings,
technical workshops, and working group sessions.
TOOLS 5 will be held from July 29 to August 2 in Santa Bar-
bara (California) which is home to many high-tech industries
and the University of California, Santa Barbara, one of the
nine campuses of the UC system.
SUBMITTING A PAPER

TOOLS U.S.A. `91 is now soliciting papers on all aspects of

topics includes:
o Object-oriented analysis and design.
o Management and training issues.
o Reports of actual experiences with object-oriented
technology including object-oriented databases.
o Empirical and field studies.

speakers. Technical papers in this area are expressly
