This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2002, held in Malaga, Spain, in June 2002. The 24 revised full papers presented together with one full invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 96 submissions. The book offers topical sections on aspect-oriented software development, Java virtual machines, distributed systems, patterns and architectures, languages, optimization, theory and formal techniques, and miscellaneous.
The21stEuropeanConferenceonObject-OrientedProgramming,ECOOP2007, was held in Berlin, Germany, on July 30 to August 3, 2007. ECOOP is the most importantand inspiring forumin Europeandbeyond for researchers,practiti- ers, and students working in that smorgasbord of topics and approaches known as object orientation. This topic area was explored and challenged by excellent invited speakers—two of which were the winners of this year’s Dahl-Nygaard award—in the carefully refereed and selected technical papers, on posters, via demonstrations, and in tutorials. Each of the many workshops complemented this with a very interactive and dynamic treatment of more speci?c topics. - nally, panels allowed for loud and lively disagreement. Yet, it is one of ECOOP’s specialqualities that this plethora ofactivities add upto a coherentandexciting whole, rather than deteriorating into chaos. The Program Committee received 161 submissions this year. Only 135 of them were carried through the full review process, because of a number of - tractions and a number of submissions of abstracts that were never followed by a full paper. However, the remaining papers were of very high quality and we accepted25 of them for publication. Helping very goodpapers to be published is more useful than having an impressively low acceptance rate. The papers were selected according to four groups of criteria, whose priority depended on the paper: relevance; originality and signi?cance; precisionand correctness;and p- sentation and clarity. Each paper had three, four, or ?ve reviews, depending on how controversial it was.
The refereed proceedings of the 17th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2003, held in Darmstadt, Germany in July 2003. The 18 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 88 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on aspects and components; patterns, architecture, and collaboration; types; modeling; algorithms, optimization, and runtimes; and formal techniques and methodology.
ECOOP is the premier forum in Europe for bringing together practitioners, - searchers, and students to share their ideas and experiences in a broad range of disciplines woven with the common thread of object technology. It is a collage of events, including outstanding invited speakers, carefully refereed technical - pers, practitioner reports re?ecting real-world experience, panels, topic-focused workshops, demonstrations, and an interactive posters session. The 18th ECOOP 2004 conference held during June 14–18, 2004 in Oslo, Norway represented another year of continued success in object-oriented p- gramming, both as a topic of academic study and as a vehicle for industrial software development. Object-oriented technology has come of age; it is now the commonly established method for most software projects. However, an - panding ?eld of applications and new technological challenges provide a strong demand for research in foundations, design and programming methods, as well as implementation techniques. There is also an increasing interest in the in- gration of object-orientation with other software development techniques. We anticipate therefore that object-oriented programming will be a fruitful subject of research for many years to come. Thisyear,theprogramcommitteereceived132submissions,ofwhich25were acceptedforpublicationafterathoroughreviewingprocess.Everypaperreceived atleast4reviews.Paperswereevaluatedbasedonrelevance,signi?cance,clarity, originality, and correctness. The topics covered include: programming concepts, program analysis, software engineering, aspects and components, middleware, veri?cation, systems and implementation techniques. These were complemented by two invited talks, from Matthias Felleisen and Tom Henzinger. Their titles and abstracts are also included in these proceedings.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2011, held in Lancaster, UK, in July 2011. The 26 revised full papers, presented together with three keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 100 submissions. The papers cover topics such as empirical studies, mining, understanding, recommending, modularity, modelling and refactoring, aliasing and ownership; as well as memory optimizations.
It is a pleasure to present the proceedings of the 22nd European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2008) held in Paphos, Cyprus. The conference continues to serve a broad object-oriented community with a tech- cal program spanning theory and practice and a healthy mix of industrial and academic participants. This year a strong workshop and tutorial program c- plementedthemaintechnicaltrack.Wehad13workshopsand8tutorials,aswell as the co-located Dynamic Language Symposium (DLS). Finally, the program was rounded out with a keynote by Rachid Guerraoui and a banquet speech by James Noble. As in previous years, two Dahl-Nygaard awards were selected by AITO, and for the ?rst time, the ECOOP Program Committee gave a best paper award.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 27th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2013, held in Montpellier, France, in July 2013. The 29 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 116 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on aspects, components, and modularity; types; language design; concurrency, parallelism, and distribution; analysis and verification; modelling and refactoring; testing, profiling, and empirical studies; and implementation.
This book investigates how transactions can be integrated with concurrent object-oriented programming, and how transactions can be made available to an application programmer at the programming language level. The book gives a detailed overview of existing transaction models, and analyzes their suitability for concurrent programming languages. A new transaction model named "Open Multithreaded Transactions" is presented. It provides features for controlling and structuring not only access to objects, as usual in transaction systems, but also threads taking part in transactions. Integration with exception handling makes open multithreaded transactions ideal building blocks for fault-tolerant applications. The book also describes the design of an object-oriented framework providing the necessary run-time support for open multithreaded transactions. Procedural, object-oriented and aspect-oriented interfaces for the application programmer are presented. Programming examples include code in Ada, Java and AspectJ.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods, ICFEM 2006, held in Macao, China, in November 2006. The 38 revised full papers presented together with three keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 108 submissions. The papers address all current issues in formal methods and their applications in software engineering.
