Its intention is to offer an environment for exchange of ideas on PhD research in general, and for technical discussion of various aspects of object-orientation in particular. The workshop will provide an opportunity for PhD students to meet, to discuss their research, and to further develop their working skills. The workshop will also serve as the continuation and enlargement of a European network of PhD students in object-oriented systems (PhD-OOS), which has been initiated at the 1st workshop, held in conjunction with ECOOP'91 in Geneva/Switzerland. The network offers a continuous opportunity to exchange information and ideas. It also supplies wider access to resources and methods and keeps the contact between workshop participants all throughout the year. Although the network is set up and based in Europe, non-European participants are welcome. More information about the network is available in the World Wide Web (WWW) at the URL: http://www.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/phdoos TOPICS The general form of the workshop will be interactive, focussing on active work in groups. The workshop will be divided into three major parts: mutual introduction, technical, and non-technical programme. The technical programme will concentrate on topics that will be selected by the attendants in advance through electronic communication. Positions on these topics will be collected and distributed in advance for use in the technical session. The non-technical programme will concentrate around the topics * conducting and organizing research (invited speaker, to be announced) * the PhD getting process * further developments of the PhD-OOS network The workshop results will be collected in a report covering the technical as well as the non-technical results of the day. The report will either be published in conjunction with other ECOOP'95 workshop publications or, if this is not possible, as a distinct publication. DURATION The last ECOOP workshop for PhD students in object-oriented systems showed a high interest of the participants in personal exchange of ideas with people working on similar topics. Correspondingly, the technical discussions in small working groups were generally perceived as very interesting and stimulating. Nevertheless, most participants felt that the time available for discussions was much too short. Therefore, this year's workshop will last one and a half day in order to give enough time for intensive technical discussions with people working on closely related topics. HOW TO APPLY First-time-attendants of the workshop are asked to send a one-page abstract (about 500 words, plain ASCII) of their dissertation research. Others should submit an abstract update, which should illustrate the current state of their research work (also about 500 words, plain ASCII). The abstracts should be submitted electronically before July, 1st to the contact person named below. They will be distributed electronically to the workshop participants prior to the workshop and will serve as the basis for the technical discussion at the workshop. Submitted abstracts should be accompanied by (up to five) keywords indicating topics to be discussed in the technical part of the workshop. ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION The workshop organizers decided to have a special acceptance notification procedure which shall allow participants to pay the cheaper early registration fees (= early notification) while still enabling discussions about topics of current interests (= late submission): Acceptance notifications will be sent out to the participants individually a few days after a submitted abstract has been received and considered to be conformant with the guidelines stated above. Abstracts will be accepted until July, 1st. Early submitted abstracts may also be updated until July, 1st. Hence, everybody requesting for it will get his or her acceptance notification in time to register for ECOOP before June, 2nd. This regulation will be followed provided that no more than 36 people submit abstracts. Experiences from previous workshops indicate that this is very unlikely to become the case. Please refer to the official conference information for any questions about registration details! (It might become possible to register for ECOOP work- shops only, so watch out for official ECOOP announcements!)
