Technical Program
 Chair: Douglas C. Schmidt, Vanderbilt University
This year's OOPSLA offers a distinguished and eclectic array
of invited speakers. The keynote speaker is Rick Rashid,
renowned operating systems researcher and head of Microsoft
Research's worldwide operations. Joining Rick are Ward
Cunningham, Wiki inventor and a leader in object-oriented
technologies for three decades; Allan Vermeulen, Chief
Technology Officer and Vice President of Web Services
Engineering at Amazon; Steve McConnell, the author of Code
Complete, Rapid Development, Software Project
Survival Guide, and After the Gold Rush; and Herb
Sutter, past Editor-in-Chief of C++ Report and chair of
the ISO C++ Standards Committee. Jaron Lanier—computer
scientist, composer, visual artist, author, and coiner of the
term "virtual reality"—will deliver the keynote for this
year's Onward! track. And Alan Kay, one of the founders of
the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center and 2003 Turing Award
winner, will address the Educators' Symposium.
OOPSLA's technical sessions are known not only for top-flight
research papers (twenty-seven of them this year) but also for
exciting panels that stir debate among leaders in the field,
practitioner reports depicting real-world application of
object technology, posters that cover early but promising
work, and demonstrations where commercial as well as
open-source products are displayed. Last but by no means
least, Onward! presents technical and philosophical papers
describing new paradigms in computing, new thinking about
objects, new framings of computational problems and systems,
and new technological frontiers.
