Call for Papers

Objectives

At its 14th edition, the PhDOOS workshop has become an established annual meeting of PhD students in object-orientation.

The main objective of the workshop is to offer an opportunity for PhD students to meet and share their research experiences, to discover commonalities in research and studentship, and to foster a collaborative environment for joint problem-solving.

PhD students from both industry and academia are encouraged to attend in order to ensure a broad, unconfined discussion. Senior researchers are also welcomed during the plenary sessions, as they may provide insightful viewpoints and advices to the PhD participants.

The workshop also aims at strengthening the international Network of PhD Students in Object-Oriented Systems (PhDOOS). Initiated during the 1st edition of this workshop series at ECOOP'91, this network counts approximately 125 members from all over the world. There is a mailing list and a WWW site, used mainly for information and discussion on OO-related topics.

Topics and work practices

The workshop sessions will be determined according to the research interests of the participants. Potential topics of the workshop are those of the main ECOOP conference, i.e. all topics related to object technology including but not restricted to:

- Analysis and design methods
- Concurrent, real-time, parallel systems
- Databases and object persistence
- Patterns
- Distributed and mobile object systems
- Aspects oriented programming
- Frameworks and software architectures
- Language design and implementation
- Object testing and metrics
- Programming environments
- Software components
- Reflection, adaptability, composability and reusability
- Theoretical foundations

The workshop is divided into plenary sessions and subgroup discussion sessions. The subgroups will be formed before the workshop, based on the research interests of the participants. At the workshop, the main part of the technical programme consists of presentations and subgroup discussions. Results and summaries from the subgroup discussions will be presented at a plenary session.

The plenary session will also feature one or two invited speakers talking about the interesting research hot-spots, personal experiences, research methodology, etc. These could be an unique opportunity to hear or ask things not discussed elsewhere, and to have an "unplugged" discussion with a well-known personality of our field.
