ECOOP / Workshop 06

13th Workshop for PhD Students in Object-Oriented Systems

Abstract

This workshop is slightly unusual, because the participants are PhD students and the topics are derived from the areas of interest of the participants. The workshop is divided into plenary sessions with a number of pre-screened presentations, and "discussion" sessions, holding small subgroups composed of PhD students working on similar topics. The subgroups will be coordinated with the workgroup of Doctoral Symposium. For each participant, this is an opportunity to present his/her research to a knowledgeable audience working in a similar context, and to share his/her ideas on hot-topics or new trends. In this way, the participants may receive insightful comments on their research, learn about related work, and initiate future research collaborations.

The participants are divided into two categories. First, it is possible to submit a (5-8 page) extended abstract on a specific topic, and give a 20 minutes presentation at the workshop. Second, a PhD student may submit an extended abstract of their PhD project, and give a 10 minutes presentation.

The workshop sessions will be determined according to the research interests of the participants. Potential topics of the workshop are those of the main ECOOP conference, i.e., all topics related to object technology including but not restricted to the following topics.

Main Topics

Analysis and design methods
Concurrent, real-time, parallel systems
Databases and object persistence
Patterns
Distributed and mobile object systems
Aspects oriented programming
Frameworks and software architectures
Language design and implementation
Object testing and metrics
Programming environments
Software components
Reflection, adaptability, composability and reusability
Theoretical foundations

The workshop is divided into plenary sessions and subgroup discussion sessions. The subgroups will be formed before the workshop, based on the research interests of the participants. At the workshop, the main part of the technical programme consists of presentations and subgroup discussions. Results and summaries from the subgroup discussions will be presented at a plenary session.

The plenary session will also feature one or two invited speakers talking about the interesting research hot-spots, personal experiences, research methodology, etc. These could be an unique opportunity to hear or ask things not discussed elsewhere, and to have an "unplugged" discussion with a well-known personality of our field
