Synopsis

The TOOLS conference series started in 1989 and, over the following 15 years, held 45 sessions: TOOLS EUROPE, TOOLS USA, TOOLS PACIFIC, TOOLS CHINA and TOOLS EASTERN EUROPE. TOOLS played a major role in the spread of object-oriented and component technologies; many seminal software conceptsnowtakenforgrantedwere?rstdiscussedatTOOLS,takingadvantage of the informal, application-oriented, technically intense and marketing-free - mosphere of the conference. Invited speakers have included countless luminaries of science and industry. Afteraninterruptionoffouryears,TOOLSstartedagaininJune2007,hosted by ETH Zurich with great success. TOOLS has broadened its scope beyond the original topics of object technology and component-based development to encompass all modern, practical approaches to software development. In doing so, it kept with the traditional TOOLS spirit of technical excellence, focus on practicality, combination of theory and applications, and reliance on the best experts from academia and industry.

The TOOLS week of conferences was further distinguished by a number of excellent keynote speakers: Michael Brodie (Verizon), John Mylopoulos (U- versity of Trento and the University of Toronto), Erik Meijer (Microsoft), and the ICMT keynote speaker Krzysztof Czarnecki(University of Waterloo). These speakers re?ect the TOOLS themes of practicality, combination of theory and application, and substantial expertise.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 46th International Conference on Objects, Components, Models and Patterns, TOOLS EUROPE 2008, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in June/July 2008.

The 21 papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions.

TOOLS played a major role in the spread of object-oriented and component technologies. It has now broadened its scope beyond the original topics of object technology and component-based development to encompass all modern, practical approaches to software development. At the same time, TOOLS kept its traditional spirit of technical excellence, its acclaimed focus on practicality, its well-proven combination of theory and applications, and its reliance on the best experts from academia and industry.
