[OT98] [OT99] OT2000 OT2001 OT2002 OT2003 OT2004 OT2005 [Organisation]

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.
