JSSST International Symposium Series 
*******************************************
*International Symposium on               *
*Object Technologies for Advanced Software*
*******************************************
Kanazawa, Japan, November 4-6, 1993

Sponsored by: Japan Society for Software Science and Technology
              (JSSST) 
Supported by: Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology
              (JAIST)
In cooperation with (requesting): ACM, IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY, 
              IEICE, IPSJ
** AIM:
Object technologies are attracting much attention in diverse areas of
research and development for advanced software.  Object-oriented (OO)
programming holds a great promise in reducing the complexity of large
scale software development, and recent research in this field promises
to open up a new paradigm for parallel and reflective computing.
Object-oriented databases are expected to serve as a model for next
generation database systems, by overcoming the limitations of
conventional data models.  Recently, research in software object bases
is aimed at developing a uniform approach to the management of
software artifacts produced in the software development process, such
as specifications, manuals, programs, and test data, which
traditionally were managed in a very ad-hoc and arbitrary manner.

Active research and experimentation on object technologies in these
diverse areas suggest that there are some underlying, fundamental
principles common to a wide range of software development activities.
The first of the JSSST international series of symposia focuses on
this topic.  The aim of this symposium is to bring together leading
researchers in the areas of object-oriented programming,
object-oriented databases, and software object bases.  We hope to
promote an understanding of object technologies in a wider context and
to make progress towards the goal of finding a better framework for
future advanced software development.

** SCOPE:
The scope of this symposium includes advanced object technologies in
programming, database systems, and software processes.  Specific
aspects of such object technologies include, but are not limited to,
the theory and practice of:

OO programming languages  
OO database management systems
OO database programming languages
Object management in software processes
OO software development and environments
Design and development of OO software systems
Principles and design of software object bases
OO reflective programming
OO concurrent/parallel programming 
OO operating systems 
Active objects 
Constraint-based object models 
Supporting views in object base systems 
Version mechanisms in object base systems 
OO user interfaces

** INSTRUCTIONS: 
Original papers on the above topics are invited.  These should be no
longer than 5,000 words in length (double-spaced type, in English,
including abstract and keywords).  The cover page should include
authors' names, affiliations, complete postal as well as E-mail
addresses, and telephone/facsimile numbers.  Please submit five (5)
copies by March 25, 1993 to:
