These sessions contain some of the newest research, often still in-progress. In many cases, demos show the software discussed in technical sessions, tutorials, and other presentations. Panel sessions are the place where experts are encouraged to disagree publicly. The six panel sessions this year cover a spectrum of issues in software development, from understanding the impact of research to the future of object computing. DesignFest and CodeFest are our most hands-on events.
Participants work in teams to design and implement solutions to assigned problems.
The participants present their results and lessons learned at a wrap-up session at the end of the conference. The Doctoral Symposium provides a forum for graduate students to share ideas and receive guidance. The Educators' Symposium includes presentations and discussions on teaching object-oriented technology in both academics and industry. There's something here for everyone who works with object-oriented software.
