Preface to the Special Issue on Object-Oriented Programming Languages and Systems (OOPS 2008), A Special Track at the 23rd ACM Symposium on Applied Computing

摘要

This special issue hosts extended versions of papers selected from the special track on Object-Oriented Programming Languages and Systems (OOPS) at the 23rd ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC 2008), Fortaleza, Brazil, March 16-20,2008.rnThe aim of the OOPS special track is to foster the development of extensions to existing Object-Oriented (OO) languages and platforms, as well as the design and implementation of new languages and platforms embracing and enhancing the object-oriented paradigm. Particularly of interest for OOPS are papers that provide a thorough analysis covering most of the following aspects: theory, design, implementation, applicability, performance evaluation, and comparison/integration with existing constructs and mechanisms.
