Workshops and Conferences
Summary of the Workshop Here is an introductory excerpt:
COP 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 intends to address their methodological and theoretical underpinnings.
COP 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. This requires standards to allow independently created components to interoperate, and specifications that put the composer into the position to decide what can be composed under which conditions. These needs raise open research questions like what kind of standards are needed and how they should be defined. Or what information specifications need to give, how this information should be provided, and how correct implementation and usage of specifications could be verified or enforced.
