                               Special Issue of
                 Theory and Practice of Object Systems (TAPOS)
                  on Subjectivity in Object-Oriented Systems

 
                                Guest Editors:

                     Submission deadline: APRIL 28th, 1995


Subjectivity is an area of growing interest and importance in the
object-oriented community. Especially in large systems or suites of
applications, it is often important that the same objects appear different and
behave differently when used in different contexts, by different clients, in
different ways, or at different times.  Support for such subjectivity promises
greater flexibility in writing, extending and combining object-oriented systems
and applications, and at the same time raises many interesting technical and
even philosophical issues.

Papers on all aspects of subjectivity in object-oriented systems are invited
for the special issue.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
o Concepts and philosophical issues.
o Motivation, requirements and uses of subjectivity.
o Models and language mechanisms.
o Analysis, design and programming methodology.
o Semantics, including: creation and copying of objects, encapsulation, static
  versus dynamic views, first-classness of views.
o Specification issues, including: the meaning of invariants in a subjective
  system, characterizing views and inter-view dependencies.
o Implementation issues.
o Relationship of subjectivity to versioning, inheritance, reflection,
  distributed systems and other related areas or mechanisms.

The deadline for submission is APRIL 28th, 1995. Electronic submissions are
preferred, and will lead to faster reviewing, but five paper copies are
acceptable. Detailed instructions for authors are obtainable by using WWW URL:
