Overview
TOOLS 2008 is the 46th TOOLS conference. Started in 1989, TOOLS conferences, held in Europe, the USA, Australia, and China have played a major role in the development of object technology field; many of the seminal concepts were first presented at TOOLS. After an interruption of four years, the conference is now revived to reflect the maturing of the field and the new challenges ahead.
TOOLS EUROPE 2008 will be devoted to the combination of technologies that have emerged as a result of object technology becoming "mainstream". Like its predecessors, TOOLS EUROPE 2008 combines an emphasis on quality with a strong practical focus. It will include both scientific and experience conference papers, workshops, tutorials, a poster session, and a venture forum.
21 papers have been accepted after a rigorous selection process by the international Program Committee, with an emphasis on originality, practicality and overall quality. Topics addressed this year by selected papers include model-driven engineering, aspect-orientation, component-based languages, and language reflection.
In 2008, TOOLS EUROPE is co-located with several other events, including SEAFOOD 2008, the International Conference on Model Transformation (ICMT) 2008, the Web 2.0 Pattern Mining workshop, and several other workshops and tutorials. Details of all co-located events can be found on the TOOLS web site.
