Synopsis:
Object-Orientation has for a number of years now been accepted as the ind- try standard in many areas. Coming from the area of simulation it showed its strengthsinthedesignofgraphicaluserinterfacesandisnowtakenforgrantedin Internet applications. Object-oriented programming has positioned itself as the main programming paradigm in many universities and many students are int- ducedtoprogrammingthroughanObject-Orientedlanguage. Theimportanceof Object-Orientation and its fundamental ideas have now also been ?rmly rec- nized by the research community. This year both the IEEE John von Neumann Medal and the ACM Turing Award have been awarded to Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard for the pioneering work they did in the 1960s when designing the programming language Simula 67: 19November2001-IEEE(InstituteofElectricalandElectronicEngineers): Ole-JohanDahlandKristenNygaardhavebeenawardedtheIEEE's2002John von Neumann Medal "For the introduction of the concepts underlying obje- orientedprogrammingthroughthedesignandimplementationofSIMULA67.

TuringAward,consideredthe"NobelPrize of Computing," to Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard of Norway for their role in the invention of object-oriented programming, the most widely used p- gramming model today. Their work has led to a fundamental change in how software systems are designed and programmed, resulting in reusable, reliable, scalable applications that have streamlined the process of writing software code andfacilitatedsoftwareprogramming. 2002willthusberememberedasanexceptionalyearinthehistoryofObject- Orientation and it is an honor to have Kristen Nygaard as this year's banquet speaker.

Synopsis:
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2002, held in Malaga, Spain, in June 2002. The 24 revised full papers presented together with one full invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 96 submissions. The book offers topical sections on aspect-oriented software development, Java virtual machines, distributed systems, patterns and architectures, languages, optimization, theory and formal techniques, and miscellaneous.
