Leuven, Belgium Allan Vermeulen, Rogue Wave Software Theme: OON-SKI provides a forum where computer scientists and scientific programmers can discuss how to use object-oriented programming techniques to more effectively write complex scientific codes. There will be four separate areas of focus: * Object-Oriented Environments: Design, Development, and Debugging Tools ---------------------------------------------------------------- Fully realizing the benefits of OOP requires more than just an OO language - it requires a complete environment for design, development, debugging, and profiling. Papers submitted to this area will describe components of such an environment as they relate to numerics. Submissions on handling parallelism, and how to achieve the efficiency necessary for numerics, are particularly welcome. * Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Methodologies --------------------------------------------------------------- How do you go about designing a numerical object-oriented application? There are several object-oriented methodologies in existence, ranging from the unstructured whiteboard discussion approach to formal Booch diagrams. Are these methods for numerical programming? We invite papers discussing tools and ideas on this subject and also outlining your own experience. * Object-Oriented Software Components & Class Libraries --------------------------------------------------------------- Choosing the correct abstractions so that objects can be used in diverse applications is very difficult. In this section, we invite papers describing libraries of numerical classes designed explicitly for diverse uses. Especially interesting (and educational) would be tales of success: accounts of real code with a diverse user base. * Applications --------------------------------------------------------------- Is it easier to construct numerical applications using object- oriented programming? How robust are the resulting programs compared to their procedural counterparts? How fast are they? How much memory do they use? In the final analysis, the answers to these questions will determine the success or failure of object-oriented numerics. In this section we would like to hear your experiences with object-oriented codes and how these questions (and others you can think of) would be answered. PANEL DISCUSSION PROPOSALS -------------------------- Panel proposals should include the title, a brief description of the objectives and issues to be covered, the panel chair and probable panelists (including short vitae). Panels will be selected according to their substance and contributions to the conference program. Panel submissions are due by December 15, 1993. AUTHOR INFORMATION ------------------ Authors should submit 8 copies of an extended abstract (via smail mail) by December 15, 1993. A cover page should be attached which includes the following: * Name, affiliation, and complete address for each author * A designated contact person including his/her telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address (if available). * A designated presenter should the paper be accepted. * Title of submission Mail abstract to: Allan Vermeulen Rogue Wave Software P.O. Box 2328 Corvallis, OR 97339 NOTIFICATION ------------ Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection on January 17, 1994. Camera ready copies of full papers will be due on March 15, 1994 and should be 1 1/2 spaced, 11 point font, 1" margins, and 5,000 words or less.
