TOOLS is the major international conference and exhibition devoted to the application of object-oriented technology. TOOLS Pacific '98, will be run in Melbourne and continues the commitment to excellence demonstrated by earlier conferences in Australia, Europe, Asia and the U.S. Standards established for TOOLS by earlier conferences in the series include:
- Emphasis on the practice of object-oriented technology and its application in industrial environments, complementing the more academically-oriented perspective of traditional conferences.
- Solid technical program, based on a strict refereeing process.
- Balanced coverage of the wealth of approaches, trends and variants in the object-oriented community.
- Combination of tutorials by recognized experts, invited talks by innovators in the field, relevant panel discussions, and technical papers targeted to practitioners in the field.
SUBMITTING A PAPER
TOOLS Pacific '98 is now soliciting papers on all aspects of object- oriented technology. All submitted papers will be refereed and judged not only according to standards of technical quality but also on their usefulness to practitioners and applied researchers.
A non-exhaustive list of suggested topics include:
- Reports of experience with O-O technology
- Migration towards O-O software development
- O-O user interfaces, persistence and databases
- Class management and evolution
- Empirical and field studies
- Production, distribution and revenue collection of industrial-quality reusable components.
- Standardization and quality assurance of OO components
- Re-engineering and reverse engineering of OO systems
- Distributed Object technologies
TOOLS Pacific '98 will feature workshops and panels on Patterns, Distributed Objects and emerging methodologies standards. Technical papers are expressly sought in these areas.
IEEE are publishing TOOLS PACIFIC '97, '98 and all future TOOLS proceedings.
Papers should be in the range of 10 to 15 double spaced pages. Six copies of each submission should be sent to:
