This book constitutes the proceedings of the 28th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2014, held in Uppsala, Sweden, in July/August 2014. The 27 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 101 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: analysis; design; concurrency; types; implementation; refactoring; JavaScript, PHP and frameworks; and parallelism.
\My tailor is Object-Oriented". Most software systems that have been built - cently are claimed to be Object-Oriented. Even older software systems that are still in commercial use have been upgraded with some OO ?avors. The range of areas where OO can be viewed as a \must-have" feature seems to be as large as the number of elds in computer science. If we stick to one of the original views of OO, that is, to create cost-e ective software solutions through modeling ph- ical abstractions, the application of OO to any eld of computer science does indeed make sense. There are OO programming languages, OO operating s- tems, OO databases, OO speci cations, OO methodologies, etc. So what does a conference on Object-Oriented Programming really mean? I honestly don’t know. What I do know is that, since its creation in 1987, ECOOP has been attracting a large number of contributions, and ECOOP conferences have ended up with high-quality technical programs, featuring interesting mixtures of theory and practice. Among the 183 initial submissions to ECOOP’99, 20 papers were selected for inclusion in the technical program of the conference. Every paper was reviewed by three to ve referees. The selection of papers was carried out during a t- day program committee meeting at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. Papers were judged according to their originality, presentation qu- ity, and relevance to the conference topics.
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.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2010, held in Maribor, Slovenia, in June 2010. The 24 revised full papers, presented together with one extended abstract were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 108 submissions. The papers cover topics such as programming environments and tools, theoretical foundations of programming languages, formal methods, concurrency models in Java, empirical methods, type systems, language design and implementation, concurrency abstractions and experiences.
The 19th Annual Meeting of the European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming—ECOOP 2005—took place during the last week of July in Glasgow, Scotland, UK. This volume includes the refereed technical papers p- sented at the conference, and two invited papers. It is traditional to preface a volume of proceedings such as this with a note that emphasizes the importance of the conference in its respective ?eld. Although such self-evaluations should always be taken with a large grain of salt, ECOOP is undisputedly the pre- inent conference on object-orientation outside of the United States. In its turn, object-orientationis today’s principaltechnology not only for programming,but also for design, analysisand speci?cation of softwaresystems. As a consequence, ECOOP has expanded far beyond its roots in programming to encompass all of these areas of research—whichis why ECOOP has remained such an interesting conference. But ECOOP is more than an interesting conference. It is the nucleus of a technical and academic community, a community whose goals are the creation and dissemination of new knowledge. Chance meetings at ECOOP have helped to spawn collaborations that span the boundaries of our many subdisciplines, bring together researchers and practitioners, cross cultures, and reach from one side of the world to the other. The ubiquity of fast electronic communication has made maintaining these collaborations easier than we would have believed possible only a dozen years ago. But the role of conferences like ECOOP in establishing collaborations has not diminished.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems, APLAS 2022, held in Auckland, New Zealand, in December 2022. The 10 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Semantics and Analysis; Testing and Verification; Types.
It is now more than twenty-five years since object-oriented programming was “inve- ed” (actually, more than thirty years since work on Simula started), but, by all accounts, it would appear as if object-oriented technology has only been “discovered” in the past ten years! When the first European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming was held in Paris in 1987, I think it was generally assumed that Object-Oriented Progr- ming, like Structured Programming, would quickly enter the vernacular, and that a c- ference on the subject would rapidly become superfluous. On the contrary, the range and impact of object-oriented approaches and methods continues to expand, and, - spite the inevitable oversell and hype, object-oriented technology has reached a level of scientific maturity that few could have foreseen ten years ago. Object-oriented technology also cuts across scientific cultural boundaries like p- haps no other field of computer science, as object-oriented concepts can be applied to virtually all the other areas and affect virtually all aspects of the software life cycle. (So, in retrospect, emphasizing just Programming in the name of the conference was perhaps somewhat short-sighted, but at least the acronym is pronounceable and easy to rem- ber!) This year’s ECOOP attracted 146 submissions from around the world - making the selection process even tougher than usual. The selected papers range in topic from programming language and database issues to analysis and design and reuse, and from experience reports to theoretical contributions.
This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 28th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2019, which took place in Prague, Czech Republic, in April 2019, held as Part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2019.
The two-book set LNCS 10205 + 10206 constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems, TACAS 2017, which took place in Uppsala, Sweden in April 2017, held as Part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2017. The 48 full papers, 4 tool demonstration papers, and 12 software competition papers presented in these volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from 181 submissions to TACAS and 32 submissions to the software competition. They were organized in topical sections named: verification techniques; learning; synthesis; automata; concurrency and bisimulation; hybrid systems; security; run-time verification and logic; quantitative systems; SAT and SMT; and SV COMP.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods, ICFEM 2018, held in Gold Coast, QLD, Australia, in November 2018. The 22 revised full papers presented together with 14 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions. The conference focuses on all areas related to formal engineering methods, such as verification; network systems; type theory; theorem proving; logic and semantics; refinement and transition systems; and emerging applications of formal methods.
