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 (PhDOOS), which has been initiated at the 1st workshop, held in conjunction with ECOOP'91 in Geneva/Switzerland. The PhD network counts approximately 125 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 PhDOOS can be found at http://mbi.dkfz-heidelberg.de/PhDOOS/ It is also a tradition to take advantage of the fact that people are gathered, by going together to a restaurant or similarly after the regular programme of the day. 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. The discussions will be based on position statements and paper presentations (see below). The corresponding abstracts and papers will be electronically distributed among the participants in advance. An overview of the work of each subgroup will be prepared and presented in the plenary session later. The non-technical programme consists of two keynote talks by invited speakers about the PhD-getting process and conducting research, a writing workshop, and discussions about the results of the preECOOP initiative of the PhDOOS network, about further developments of the PhDOOS network, and about the social situation of PhD students. The workshop results will be collected in a report covering the technical as well as the non-technical results. HOW TO APPLY Since this workshop is associated with the PhDOOS Network you should become a member of this network to participate in the workshop. If you are not already a member you should send a one-page (500 words) abstract of your dissertation research. The abstract should be submitted electronically as soon as possible, using the WWW form or by email to . Applicants can either apply for a short position statement of 5 minutes or a presentation of 20 minutes time. If applying for a presentation, a paper covering its contents has to be submitted. This paper would typically be 3-8 pages and its primary purpose is to give other participants an overview of your work and allow them to recall it later on. Papers should be submitted electronically till April 15th, 1997, to eernst@daimi.aau.dk. The papers and the network abstracts will be made available to the workshop participants prior to the workshop and will serve as the basis for the technical discussions at the workshop.
