One of the invited speakers in the official technical programme is Kristen
Nygaard - the well-known pioneer of object-oriented programming
languages with his work on Simula-67. Later Kristen has been one of the
designers of BETA, the successor of Simula! 

When: 

       Wednesday, June 11th, 9:30 - 10:45 

Paper: Kresten Krab Thorup: Genericity in Java with Virtual Types
==================================================================

This document suggests virtual types for Java, a language mechanism
which subsumes parameterized classes, while also integrating more
naturally with Java's object model. The same basic mechanism is also
known as virtual patterns in BETA. 

When:
