CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
1991 INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON
OBJECT-ORIENTATION IN OPERATING SYSTEMS
I-WOOOS '91
Palo Alto, California, USA, October 17-18, 1991
Sponsored by
The IEEE Technical Committee on Operating Systems
and Application Environments (TCOS)
INTRODUCTION:
There has been recently a great deal of activity applying the
object-oriented approach in the area of operating systems. This
workshop will consider the several ways that this can be envisaged.
Many research groups worldwide have started to address this question
independently. This workshop supplies a unique opportunity for them
to meet and to share their experiences. I-WOOOS '91 is in fact
the second edition of this workshop; the first took place in October
1990 in Ottawa (Canada) at the 1990 joint ECOOP/OOPSLA conference.
SUBJECTS OF INTEREST:
Relevant subjects of interest include, but are not limited to:
+ Operating system support for objects.
+ Structuring the operating system with objects.
+ Relations between user objects and OS objects.
+ Object-oriented languages and operating systems.
+ Object reliability and security.
+ Mechanisms for object persistence
+ Operating systems and garbage collection
+ Distributed object systems
WORKSHOP STRUCTURE:
Each attendee is requested to send a short (1 to 5 page) position
paper. Depending on the number of submissions, and due to the limited
time allotted for the workshop, the committee will group the paper
into relevant categories and select a few representative submissions
for presentation to set the tone for following discussions.
In addition, a number of guest attendees, from outside the direct
focus of the workshop, have been invited. They shall present fresh
input, disseminating the needs of operating system users to operating
system researchers. Topics for these discussions include:
+ Databases
+ Compilers
+ Programming Environments
+ Applications
+ OS Services
+ Reliability and Security
+ Multimedia
+ Past Experiences
ATTENDEE INFORMATION:
The official language for the conference will be English. Persons
interested in this workshop are invited to send two copies of a short
(1 to 5 pages) position paper, by July 12 1991, to either the
the workshop general chairman or the program committee chairman listed below.
(Please, do *not* send submissions by e-mail.)
WORKSHOP LOCATION:
The workshop will be held at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC)
in Palo Alto, California.
