                  JSSST International Symposium Series

                       International Symposium on
               Object Technologies for Advanced Software
                  Kanazawa, Japan, November 4-6, 1993

Sponsored by:
    Japan Society for Software Science and Technology (JSSST)
Supported by:
    Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST)
In cooperation with (requesting):
    ACM, IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY, IEICE, IPSJ

AIM:
    Object technologies are attracting much attention in diverse areas
    of research and development for advanced software.  Object-oriented
    (OO) programming holds a great promise in reducing the complexity of
    large scale software development, and recent research in this field
    promises to open up a new paradigm for parallel and reflective
    computing.  Object-oriented databases are expected to serve as a
    model for next generation database systems, by overcoming the
    limitations of conventional data models.  Recently, research in
    software object bases is aimed at developing a uniform approach to
    the management of software artifacts produced in the software
    development process, such as specifications, manuals, programs, and
    test data, which traditionally were managed in a very ad-hoc and
    arbitrary manner.

    Active research and experimentation on object technologies in these
    diverse areas suggest that there are some underlying, fundamental
    principles common to a wide range of software development
    activities.  The first of the JSSST international series of symposia
    focuses on this topic.  The aim of this symposium is to bring
    together leading researchers in the areas of object-oriented
    programming, object-oriented databases, and software object bases.
    We hope to promote an understanding of object technologies in a
    wider context and to make progress towards the goal of finding a
    better framework for future advanced software development.

SCOPE:
    The scope of this symposium includes advanced object technologies in
    programming, database systems, and software processes.  Specific
    aspects of such object technologies include, but are not limited to,
    the theory and practice of:

        OO programming languages
        OO database management systems
        OO database programming languages
        Object management in software processes
        OO software development and environments
        Design and development of OO software systems
        Principles and design of software object bases
        OO reflective programming
        OO concurrent/parallel programming
        OO operating systems
        Active objects
        Constraint-based object models
        Supporting views in object base systems
        Version mechanisms in object base systems
        OO user interfaces
