> Dear Squeakers,

> Objective
> =========
>
> The goal of this workshop is to act as a forum where we can discuss new  
> advances in the conception, implementation and application of  
> object-oriented languages that radically diverge from the statically  
> typed class-based reflectionless doctrine. The goal of the workshop is  
> to discuss new as well as older "forgotten" languages and features in  
> this  context. Topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited  
> to:
>
>    - agents, actors, active object, distribution, concurrency and  
> mobility
>    - delegation, prototypes, mixins
>    - first-class closures, continuations, environments
>    - reflection and meta-programming
>    - (dynamic) aspects for dynamic languages
>    - higher-order objects & messages
>    - ...  other exotic dynamic features which you would categorize as OO
>    - multi-paradigm & static/dynamic-marriages
>    - (concurrent/distributed/mobile/aspect) virtual machines
>    - optimisation of dynamic languages
>    - automated reasoning about dynamic languages
>    - "regular" syntactic schemes (cf. S-expressions, Smalltalk, Self)
>    - Smalltalk, Python, Ruby, Scheme, Lisp, Self, ABCL, Prolog, ...
>    - ... any topic relevant in applying and/or supporting dynamic  
> languages.
>
> We solicit high-quality submissions on research results
> and/or experience. Submitted papers must be unpublished
> and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions
> should not exceed 10 pages, LNCS format (www.springer.com/lncs).
>
>
> Submission
> ==========
>
> Prospective attendees are requested to submit a position paper or an  
> essay (max 10 pages, references included) on a topic relevant to the  
> workshop to Alexandre Bergel ([hidden email]). Submissions  
> are demanded to be in .pdf format and should arrive before May 13, 2007.
>
> A selection of the best papers will be made, which will require an  
> extension for an inclusion in a special issue in Electronic  
> Communications of the EASST  (eceasst.cs.tu-berlin.de). For this  
> purpose, a new deadline will be set after the workshop.
>
> Moreover, Springer publishes a Workshop-Reader (as in the case of  
> previous ECOOPs) which appears after the Conference and which contains  
> Workshop-Reports (written by the organizers) and not the position papers  
> submitted by the participants.
