Hi, Could anybody out there having a complete list of references on Trellis/Owl and the related research on types send me a copy?

Trellis/Owl is now known as Trellis, or officially, the DEC Trellis Object System. It is an announced product from Digital, and will be shipping on December, running on VMS and VAX and RISC Ultrix. References: An introduction to Trellis/Owl (Schaffert, Cooper, Bullis, Kilian, Wilpolt, all of DEC). OOPSLA '86 proceedings. The Trellis programming environment (O'Brien, Halbert, Kilian, DEC). OOPSLA '87 proceedings. Concurrency features for the Trellis/Owl language (Moss & Kohler, University of Massachusetts, Amherst). ECCOP '87 proceedings. Trellis: turning designs into programs (Kilian). Communications of the ACM, September 1990. Related but not specific to Trellis: Using types and inheritance in object-oriented programming (Halbert and O'Brien). IEEE Software, September 1987. An earlier version of this paper is in the ECOOP '87 proceedings. There are a few technical reports, but most are subsumed by the above. There is no paper specifically on the type system by us, but the details are describedin the Trellis Language Reference Manual, available as one of the books in the product documentation. The type system has been discussed in at least two other papers I know of: OOPSLA '86: Encapsulation and inheritance in object-oriented programming languages (Snyder, HP Labs). OOPSLA '86 proceedings. Encapsulation, reusability, and extensibility in object-oriented programming languages (Micallef, Columbia University). Journal of Object-Oriented Programming, April/May 1988 (Vol 1, #1). Regards, --Dan Halbert
