WCOP'97, held together with ECOOP'97, was the follow-up event to the successful WCOP'96, which took place in conjunction with ECOOP'96. Component-oriented programming has been described as the natural extension of object-oriented programming to the realm of independently extensible systems. The most prominent examples of such systems are constructed around compound document models such as OLE, OpenDoc, JavaBeans, or Netscape ONE and rest on object models such as SOM/CORBA, COM or Java's virtual machine. WCOP'97 intended to address their methodological and theoretical underpinnings.
Component-oriented programming aims at producing software components for a component market and for late composition. Composers are third parties, possibly the end user, who are not able or willing to change components.
