R�SUM�:

Most researchers in object technology have by now grown accustomed to the
pressures of working in a ``hot'' area. While it is satisfying to see OO
research become quickly applied, it is disconcerting that academic research
sometimes competes with, or is made irrelevant or inapplicable by
commercial
software development. These concerns become more extreme in Java because of
widespread industrial investment. This talk attempts to identify some
research areas that are likely to have a large impact on object-oriented
software engineering in Java despite these kinds of pressures. Topics
include:

Design

It seems that nearly every kind of software component, framework,
application, and system that has ever been constructed is or will be
re-implemented in Java. How can we systematize the design knowledge gleaned
in 20 years of OO research and practice so that mistakes are not repeated?
Academic research on design patterns forms part of the answer.

Open Systems

The internet has turned out to be a less friendly place than many of us
would have liked. Are open systems still possible or desirable? Can new
approaches to Java security, fault tolerance, mobility, coordination,
composition, formal specification, verification, and so on help make them
so?

Classic OO problems

There are many incompletely solved long-standing problems in OO
programming; for example, those surrounding inheritance anomalies in
concurrent OOP, parameterization, type systems, reflection and meta-object
protocols. Will research on such issues make a difference?
