It will feature keynote talks by Adele Goldberg (ParcPlace-Digi-talk Inc.) and Franτois Bancilhon (O2 Technology), conference sessions, panels, tutorials, workshops, exhibitions, demonstrations and posters. The conference site Linz is located on the Danube, in the heart of Austria right between Vienna and Salzburg. The research and development ambiance of the city is ideally suited to hosting conferences like ECOOP: on the one hand CS departments with 16 chairs and over 2200 students, on the other hand Austria's main industrial site with many high-tech companies; on the one hand a famous past not least due to Johannes Kepler's discoveries, on the other hand an exciting present with research endeavours in object-oriented technology. Welcome to ECOOP '96 in Linz, Austria! Oscar NIERSTRASZ Gerti KAPPEL Peter WEGNER Conference Co-Chairs Organizing Chair SCHEDULE -------- Monday July 8 Tutorials, Workshops Tuesday July 9 Tutorials, Workshops Wednesday July 10 Conference Thursday July 11 Conference Friday July 12 Conference ========================================================== 2. TECHNICAL PROGRAMME ========================================================== ECOOP '96 Technical Programme ----------------------------- Linz is welcoming the 10th edition of ECOOP. For a decade, ECOOP has established itself as an academic conference with a very high quality standard. In the same time, ECOOP has mainly contributed to the dissemination of the object-oriented technology in the software industry. The ECOOP '96 programme committee had the hard task to select 21 papers from 173 submissions coming from all over the world. It has set up a programme that covers a wide range of topics including applications, programming languages, implementation, specification, distribution, databases and design. Pierre COINTE Programme Chair ECOOP '96 Panels ---------------- This year ECOOP has two panel discussions on important topics that have hardly been treated at recent ECOOPs; but both are now "reinforced" by closely related tutorials, workshops or papers. One panel is about teaching, but it should interest also our industrial participants. The other panel is about a particular application area - bank and finance - but it should interest also our academic participants. Markku SAKKINEN Panel Chair Overview: ---------- WEDNESDAY July 10, 1996 Opening Keynote 1: Adele Goldberg Programming Language / Inheritance 1 Applications / Experiences Panel Discussion Demonstrations Preview THURSDAY July 11, 1996 Implementation / Dispatching Specifications / Semantics / Inheritance 2 Distribution Panel Discussion FRIDAY July 12, 1996 Keynote 2: Franτois Bancilhon Databases Language Design / OO Modelling Closing Detailed Programme: ------------------- WEDNESDAY July 10, 1996 ----------------------- 9.15-9.30 Welcome and Opening Remarks 9.30-10.30 Keynote 1: Adele Goldberg (ParcPlace-Digitalk Inc.): ---------- Measurement Strategies After ten years of attention to the development and use of object technology, how do we measure up? In software development projects, we measure for two reasons: to find out how we are doing relative to plan, and to determine whether we have reached our stated goals. We measure by counting those objective attributes of projects - products, processes, and resources - that provide useful information for managers, developers, and customers alike. But we only measure when we clearly understand how to objectively count and how what we count answers the questions we pose about our goals. A software code testing strategy is therefore only a part of an overall measurement program. In this talk, I identify a technique for setting up an effective measurement program. The technique combines the ideas proposed in earlier publications about project management decision frameworks with basic quality assurance strategies. An application of this technique is used to measure whether we, as an industry, are meeting our goals for object technology. Dr. Adele Goldberg serves as Chairman of the Board and a founder of ParcPlace- Digitalk, Inc. Prior to the creation of ParcPlace, Adele received a Ph.D. in Information Science from the University of Chicago and spent 14 years as researcher and laboratory manager of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. From 1984-1986, Adele served as president of the ACM, the computer professional society. Solely and with others, Adele wrote the definitive books on the Smalltalk-80 system and has authored numerous papers on project management and analysis methodology using object- oriented technology. Dr. Goldberg edited "The History of Personal Workstations", published jointly by the ACM and Addison-Wesley in 1988 as part of the ACM Press Book Series of the History of Computing which she organized, and co-edited "Visual Object-Oriented Programming" with Margaret Burnett and Ted Lewis. In 1995, a new book on software engineering appeared entitled "Succeeding With Objects: Decision Frameworks for Project Management" with Kenneth S. Rubin. She was recipient of the ACM Systems Software Award in 1987 along with Dan Ignalls and Alan Kay, PC Magazine's 1990 Lifetime Achievement Award for her significant contributions to the personal computer industry, is a Fellow of the ACM, and was honored in 1995 with the Reed College Howard Vollum Award for contributions to science and technology.

Europe has progressively dropped out of a number of hardware markets (microprocessors, workstations, PC, scientific computers, etc.). It has never been very active (despite a number of bright exceptions) on the software product market (languages, databases, operating systems, tools, etc.). The quality and the success of this conference is a good demonstration of both the quality of European research and of the interest European users have in object technology. In the long run, how-ever, the presence of this active community can only be justified by its participation in a global industrial effort to deliver object technology to users. Object technology, as an emerging market represent a tremendous opportunity and it is worth wondering whether Europe will seize it. I will try to identify some of the reasons for the current state of the European software industry, study some of the success stories in this area and try to draw some conclusions on what could be done to change the current situation. Born in 1948, Franτois Bancilhon got his PhD from the University of Michigan in 1976, and the University of Paris XI in 1980. He was a researcher at INRIA from 1976 to 1980, doing theoretical work on relational databases. He was a professor at the University of Paris XI from 1981 to 1984 where he worked on database machines. He was a team leader & chief architect at MCC, Austin, Texas, from 1984 to 1986 developping a deductive database system. He managed the Altair R&D consortium in France from 1986 to 1991. This group designed and developed O2, an object database management system. In 1991, he founded O2-Technology, (Versailles and Palo Alto). O2-Technology is number One on the European object database market. 11.00-12.30 Session 6: Databases ----------- Chair: Ole Lehrmann Madsen (Aarhus University, Denmark) Dynamic Clustering in Object Databases Exploiting Effective Use of Relationships Between Objects FrΘdΘrique Bullat and Michel Schneider (UniversitΘ Blaise Pascal Clermont-Ferrand II, France) Conceptual Design of Active Object-Oriented Database Applications Using Multi-level Diagrams M.J.V.
