Third International Workshop on Component-Oriented Programming
(in conjunction with ECOOP'98)

Organization - Program

Organization

The workshop is organized into four sessions, each following the same basic structure: four brief presentations of 10 minutes (sharp) each, followed by 50 minutes of discussion. (Note that the first session has only three presenters and is thus a bit shorter.)

The presenters of a session will be asked to form a panel, directing the discussions along the lines of their presented work. Obviously, discussions are allowed to develop largely freely, but moderation will be used to ensure that the issues that the session's presenters wanted to see addressed at the workshop will be addressed.

For each mini-presentation, presenters are asked to clearly say For workshop participants to be reasonably well prepared to get useful discussions going, it would be very helpful if everyone would download the accepted position papers and peruse them ahead of the workshop.
