-
- TOOLS is the major international conference devoted to the
- applications of object-oriented technology. TOOLS 11 will continue
- the commitment to excellence generated by earlier conferences in
- Europe, the Pacific and the US. TOOLS is back for the third time in
- Santa Barbara to continue the tradition of a high-level symposium in
- one of the most beautiful places in the world.
-
- TOOLS will continue to apply the standards defined by earlier
- conferences in the series:
-
- + Strong emphasis on the practice of object-oriented technology
- and its application in industrial environments, complementing
- the more academically-oriented perspective of traditional
- conferences.
-
- + Solid technical program, based on a strict refereeing process.
-
- + Balanced coverage of the wealth of approaches, trends and
- variants in the object-oriented community.
-
- + 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 practitioners.
-
- As with previous conferences, the TOOLS 11 Proceedings will be
- published by Prentice-Hall and made available worldwide.
-
- SUBMITTING A PAPER
-
- TOOLS USA '93 is now soliciting papers on all aspects of object-
- oriented technology. All submitted papers will be refereed and judged

- exhaustive list of suggested topics includes:
-
- + Migration toward O-O Programming
-
- + O-O user interfaces
-
- + Management and training issues.
-
- + Reports of experiences with O-O technology.
-
- + Empirical and field studies.
-
- + Issues in the productions, distribution and applications of
- reusable components of industrial quality.
-
- TOOLS 11 will feature a special track on issues relating to the
- migration from conventional to object-oriented programming. This
- track will include workshop(s), tutorials, panel discussions, and
