Call for Participation


TOOLS EUROPE 2009 invites future participants to register. The event  
will be
devoted to the combination of technologies that have emerged as a  
result of
object technology becoming "mainstream". Like its predecessors, TOOLS
EUROPE 2009 combines an emphasis on quality with a strong practical  
focus.

Started in 1989, TOOLS conferences, held in Europe, the USA, Australia,
China and Eastern Europe, have played a major role in the development of
object technology field; many of the seminal concepts were first  
presented
at TOOLS. After twenty years of existence, TOOLS is a yearly event  
that gathers
the research community to discuss practical topics in OO technologies  
and
Software Engineering.

Contributions focus on all aspects of object technology and
neighboring fields, in particular model-based development, component-
based development, and patterns (design, analysis and other  
applications).
For a preview of the program, please refer to the webpage of the  
conference.

All contributions were subject to a rigorous selection process -
acceptance rate of 25% - by the international Program Committee,
with a stress on originality, practicality and overall quality. The
proceedings should be published in Springer LNBIP.

The conference will also host keynotes from internationally recognized  
scientist
including Gerti Kappel, Benjamin Pierce, JanVitek, Stéphane Ducasse,  
Paul Klint,
Carlo Ghezzi, Narayanasamy Ramasubbu.
