ECOOP '94, Object-Oriented Programming : 8th European Conference, Bologna, Italy, July 4-8, 1994. Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science Vol.821) (1994. XI, 535 p. 23,5 cm)

This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECCOP '94), held in Bologna, Italy in July 1994. ECOOP is the premier European event on object-oriented programming and technology. The 25 full refereed papers presented in the volume were selected from 161 submissions; they are grouped in sessions on class design, concurrency, patterns, declarative programming, implementation, specification, dispatching, and experience. Together with the keynote speech \"Beyond Objects\" by Luc Steels (Brussels) and the invited paper \"Putting Objects to Work\" by Norbert A. Streitz (GMD-IPSI, Darmstadt) they offer an exciting perspective on object-oriented programming research and applications.
