FOOL workshop: Call for Participation



[------- The Types Forum ------ http://www.cs.indiana.edu/types -------]


                        CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                 The Fourth International Workshop on
               Foundations of Object-Oriented Languages
                               (FOOL 4)

                           18 January, 1997
                      La Sorbonne, Paris, France
                          Following POPL '97

While object-oriented programming languages have swept the programming
community over the last decade, it has taken longer for the language
theory community to develop sound theoretical foundations for these
languages.  However, work over the last several years has provided a
better understanding of the key concepts of object-oriented languages
and has led to important developments in the type theory, semantics,
and verification of object-oriented languages.  The FOOL workshops
bring together researchers to share new ideas and results.

FOOL 4 will take place on 18 January, 1997, the day following POPL
'97.  Eight contributed papers will be presented; in addition, there
will be two invited talks:

        Luca Cardelli
           Objects, Classes, Abstractions
        Guy Steele
           Should Java Have Parameterized Types?

To register for the workshop, use the standard POPL registration form,
