OOP also serves as a basis of new generations of programming languages in concurrent and reflective computing, etc. There is also strong affinity to so-called autonomous `agent-oriented programming'. * Object-Oriented Databases (OODB) have been proposed as a model for next generation database systems, which are expected to overcome the limitations of conventional data models. Currently OODB are used in a wide variety of important application areas such as engineering and multimedia information systems, where the fusion of OOP and OODB shows a great promise in providing much more effective architecture for advanced database systems. * Object-Oriented Software Engineering (OOSE) promises to present solutions to numerous difficulties the software engineers face today. Examples include: OO requirement analysis, OO formal specifications, OO design, OO software databases, etc. The diversity of different areas suggest that there are underlying, fundamental principles common to a wide range of software development activities. Following up the success of the first ISOTAS, the second ISOTAS focuses again on the object technologies to shed light on such principles. By bringing together the leading researchers in the areas of OOP, OODB, and OOSE, we hope to deepen the understanding of object technologies and establish a solid framework for future advanced software development. >>> INVITED SPEAKERS <<< Dave Thomas (OTI) "Ubiquitous Smalltalk - Mainframes to a Watch" Bertrand Meyer (ISE) "Beyond Design by Contract: Towards Formally Provable Object-Oriented Software" Richard Helm (IBM Consulting Group/ISSC) "Patterns in Practice" Yuzuru Tanaka (Hokkaido Univ.)
