Objects in Action, workshops@oopsla.acm.org

The workshop program for OOPSLA 2002 includes a large number of workshops that spans a wide range of relevant and timely topics. Workshops provide intensive collaborative environments where object technologists meet to surface, discuss, and solve challenging problems facing the field. The topics covered by workshops are diverse, as are the workshop's formats. A workshop may provide the opportunity for representatives of a technical community to coordinate efforts and to establish collective plans of action, to collectively work on a book, or to discuss and share ideas on a hot new emerging technology.

To ensure a sufficiently small group for effective interaction, workshop organizers manage attendance based on an objective criterion, typically a short position paper submitted by potential attendees. In the position paper the prospective attendees outline their opinions on an aspect of the workshop's topic. Participants have been chosen based on the relevance of their position paper to the workshop scheme. Workshop attendance is by invitation only and it is at the discretion of the organizers but all attendees are expected to contribute to the discussion. After the workshop, the organizers are responsible for reporting results to the object community via a short summary that will appear on the workshop's web site.

Workshops are either full or half day events that occur on the first two days before the conference. Workshop organizers and participants must check-in at the registration desk before attending the workshop, preferably the evening before. For more information on a particular workshop, please visit its web page.
