ooPSLA: What's up?
You might think that after 21 years there wouldn't be much left to explore
about object oriented programming. Well, think again.
Like how to address today's software challenges. ooPSLA attracts attendees
interested in this stuff:
Programmer productivity
Secure and reliable software
Changing hardware platforms
Ultra-large scale systems
ooPSLA is the premier conference for innovative and thought-provoking ideas,
for seeking comment on works in progress, and (frequently, we're proud to say)
for presenting Turing Award lecturers on significant works. It is where industry
experts and their academic peers gather to:
Improve programming languages
Refine the practice of software development
Explore new paradigms
What's left to discover? Lots!
What's going on
John McCarthy. Gregor Kiczales. Fred Brooks. David Parnas. Patti Maes. We all recognize
these as the names of researchers who have made profound contributions
to computing and software. They are also the headline speakers at this year's
ooPSLA, where you'll hear what they are thinking about in 2007. ooPSLA
invited talks have a well-deserved reputation for energizing software
developers with ideas that stretch our collective mind.
Jim Purbrick and Mark Lentczner. You may not recognize these names,
but you might know their alter egos: Babbage Linden and Zero Linden,
of Linden Labs. They are the creators of Second Life, a 3D virtual
world that is changing how we think about the real world, how we live
in multiple worlds, and how we do business in the 21st century. Purbrick
and Lentczner are the Onward! keynote speakers.
Peter Turchi. He is the director of the MFA Program for Writers at Warren
Wilson College. You certainly don't recognize his name. Turchi is the
award-winning author of
Maps of the Imagination
, an exploration of the
relationships between creative writing, making maps, and creativity. He is
our keynote speaker, and perhaps the most mind-bending of all our speakers.
That is just a sampling of what makes ooPSLA the conference of choice
for software technologists—from recognized academics to
undergraduate students, from industrial researchers to developers and
managers, from the creators of technology to its users.
We are proud to offer you ooPSLA and look forward to sharing the experience
with you in Montréal.
The
oo
PSLA Experience
Hear what the participants have to say ...
“I think
oo
PSLA is the best d*mned programming
conference in the world: there is nothing else like it.
oo
PSLA is where people learn what
they need today—and learn what they will be doing
tomorrow. This is as true for programmers in the trenches
as it is for researchers and academics and
educators.”

OK, [
oo
PSLA 2007] is going to be a really fun conference. The keynote lineup is unreal amazing. I've got to say that
oo
PSLA has become by far the most interesting conference for me over the last several years. It is one of the very few remaining places where you can still get that blue sky anything is possible and life is all about interesting technology feeling that was such a great part of computer science when I was young(er).
— Academic Researcher
“Wow, I would not expect
a conference on object oriented programming to be so
interesting. I will probably attend.”
