Demiris" Newsgroups: comp.lang.beta Subject: CFP: 6th ECOOP WS for PhD Students Date: Fri, 10 May 1996 00:22:38 +0200 Organization: DKFZ Lines: 169 Message-ID: <3192702E.3F6E@dkfz-heidelberg.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: zaphod.inet.dkfz-heidelberg.de Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | 6th ECOOP Workshop for Doctoral Students in Object-Oriented | | Systems | | | | Linz, Austria, July 8-9, 1996 | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION The aim of the workshop is to bring together PhD students who are working on foundations, design, implementation, or application of object-oriented systems and methods. The workshop will provide an opportunity for PhD students to meet, to discuss their research, and to further develop their working skills. It will generally be interactive, focusing on active work in groups. Another function of the workshop is to continue and enlarge the international 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 PhD network counts approx. 100 members from all over the world, all of them PhD candidates. The network's mailing list and WWW pages are used mainly for information and discussion of OO-related topics. More information on the PhD-OOS can be found under http://mbi.dkfz-heidelberg.de/PhDOOS/ TOPICS The technical programme of the workshop will be held in subgroups, followed by a summary session of all attendants. In the subgroups, discussions on 3-4 related topics will be held, bringing together participants who work in related areas (e.g. patterns, foundations of OO, meta models, etc.). The discussions will be semi-structured through issues and positions which are distributed among the participants in advance, thereby helping to form the subgroups appropriately. An overview of the work of each subgroup will we prepared and then presented in the plenary session. The non-technical programme consists of a talk given by Piere Cointe (ECOOP96 program chair) about conducting and organizing research, a writing workshop where the participants will work in small groups in order to improve their abstract according to some "writing rules of thumb" (presented at a successful writer's workshop in the framework of OOPSLA'94) and a discussion about 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. HOW TO APPLY Participants are asked to send a one-page (500 words) abstract of their dissertation research. The abstracts should be submitted electronically before May 12th either using the HTML fill-out-form found under: http://mbi.dkfz-heidelberg.de/PhDOOS/CfP.html or by e-mail to the address given below: A.M.Demiris@dkfz-heidelberg.de The abstract should contain the following information: title the first name and surname of the contributor nationality institution, address, phone-number, FAX e-mail and URL (if available) the approximate date when the PhD research started up to four keywords out of the following list: analysis/design class libraries concurrency databases debugging distribution formal calculus frameworks knowledge representation language concepts language implementation meta architectures metrics multimedia applications patterns real-time software engineering typing up to four further keywords, not found in the list above (optionally) a 500-words long description of the research-work All abstracts will be distributed electronically to the workshop participants prior to the workshop and will serve as the basis for forming work-groups as well as for starting the technical discussions at the workshop. Some ideas concerning the contents of the abstract were collected by Boris Bokowski and Enno Scholz and can be found under: http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~bokowski/phd-questions.html During the workshop there will be small groups working together on a dedicated topic. For the moderation of these discussions we would appreciate the help of one volunteer per group. Please state whether you would want to moderate one of the groups or not. Your tasks would be: - Moderate the discussion (duration of presentations, control of endless discussions) - Write a one page resumé about the conclusions of your work according to given guidelines. If there is more than one volunteer per subgroup, we will randomly select one.
