The event will be devoted to the combination of technologies that have emerged as a result of object technology becoming "mainstream". Like its predecessors, TOOLS EUROPE 2009 combines an emphasis on quality with a strong practical focus. Started in 1989, TOOLS conferences, held in Europe, the USA, Australia, China and Eastern Europe, have played a major role in the development of object technology field; many of the seminal concepts were first presented at TOOLS. After twenty years of existence, TOOLS is a yearly event that gathers the research community to discuss practical topics in OO technologies and Software Engineering. Contributions focus on all aspects of object technology and neighboring fields, in particular model-based development, component- based development, and patterns (design, analysis and other applications). For a preview of the program, please refer to the webpage of the conference. All contributions were subject to a rigorous selection process - acceptance rate of 25% - by the international Program Committee, with a stress on originality, practicality and overall quality. The proceedings should be published in Springer LNBIP. The conference will also host keynotes from internationally recognized scientist including Gerti Kappel, Benjamin Pierce, JanVitek, Stéphane Ducasse, Paul Klint, Carlo Ghezzi, Narayanasamy Ramasubbu.
