Technical Papers

Chair: Douglas C. Schmidt, Vanderbilt University

The OOPSLA technical paper sessions showcase the premier research contributions and empirical results in object-oriented languages, systems, and applications. The 27 technical papers presented in nine sessions this year cover a range of interesting and important topics: novel software design techniques, advanced programming language features, analysis tools, run-time systems, and new approaches to validating and optimizing programs.

These papers were selected after a rigorous peer review of 173 submissions by an international program committee comprising 27 experts from all areas of object technology. Each paper was assigned at least four reviewers; papers co-authored by members of the program committee were held to even higher standards, with as many as eight reviewers assigned under strict anonymity. The program committee met in person for two days to discuss each paper in detail, assessing their respective novelty and contribution to object technology. This peer review process has yielded a collection of papers that advance the state-of-the-art in object technology and its related fields.
