| Programme
The themes of patterns, components, and distributed architectures will lead in this year's conference. |

OT98 (like all its predecessors) is an interactive, buzzing event at which
you will learn and discuss ideas contributed by all the participants, not
just the pre-prepared sessions. A significant proportion of the time is
set aside for 'BOF' meetings. A BOF is for you to set up, to discuss any
topic you like, with people interested in the same questions. In the
past, BOFs have proved one of the most successful aspects of this series
of conferences.
This year, OT98 is co-located with the Colloquium on Object Technology and System Re-engineering.
