- and East gather together to share their ideas and experiences with each
- other at a very special time of year - the White Nights - no darkness
- at all - nearly 24 hours of daylight. During the following weekend
- there will be an optional sightseeing programme including visiting

- --------------------------------------
-
- Russia has been (and still is) a major force in most topics - including
- computer science. A surprising number of software development efforts
- within the former Soviet Union are using object-oriented programming
- and object-oriented design to build production software systems. Major
- universities teach object oriented methods and there is some research in
- this
- area. Besides this there is much cooperation between Western and Russian
- companies and research institutes.
-
- It seems to be the right time for the first international conference in
- Russia about object oriented technology. This conference should:
-
- - help East and West to learn from one another
- - help to build new connections
- - provide the opportunity to present and to learn about
- o the actual state of research in OO technology
- o OO based developments
- o practical experiences with OO
-
-
- The conference will be held at the St. Petersburg electrotechnical
- university. Accommodations will be provided on-site. Additional
- accomodations will be available in St. Petersburg. Airport limousine
- service between St. Petersburg Airport and the conference site will be
- provided.
- The conference organizers will help you in gathering the necessary visas.
- Please
- note that aquiring a visa may take up to several weeks, so don't delay!
