ECOOP'2009 23rd European Conference on Object Oriented Programming July 6th - 10th 2009, Genova, Italy http://2009.ecoop.org CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS http://2009.ecoop.org/workshops.html Workshops provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to meet and discuss focused issues in an atmosphere that fosters interaction, exchange, and problem solving. Workshops also provide the opportunity for representatives of a technical community to coordinate efforts and establish collective plans of action. All topics related to object- oriented technology are potential candidates for workshops. More specifically, workshops typically fall into the following categories: A workshop may address a specific sub-area of object-oriented technology in depth. Examples of such sub-areas include object-oriented analysis and design methods, object-oriented operating systems, distributed object programming or theoretical aspects of object-orientation. A workshop may cover areas that cross the borders of several sub-areas in computer science, software engineering and related fields. Examples of such areas include testing of object-oriented software, management of object-oriented software projects, teaching object-oriented programming, requirements engineering, or aspect-orientation. A workshop may focus on the applications and deployment of object- oriented technology in areas such as telecommunications, e-commerce, mobile computing or real-time systems. Workshops reporting on industrial experiences are particularly welcome. Workshop topics are by no means limited to the examples mentioned above. However, in each case the proposed area is supposed to have enough impetus to yield new results which can be considered important and worth more detailed investigation. The proposals will be reviewed by the ECOOP 2009 Workshop Co-Chairs, the workshop selection committee and possibly experts in the subject areas of the submitted proposals. Acceptance will be primarily based on an evaluation of the workshop's potential for generating useful results, relevance and expected level of interest in the topic, and the organizers' ability to lead a successful workshop.
