Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Persistent Object Systems, POS-9, held in Lillehammer, Norway, in September 2001. The 19 revised full papers presented together with seven session overviews and an epilogue were selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision for inclusion in the proceedings. Among the topics addressed are persistence-enabled optimization, Java applications, JVM, systems architecture, persistent GIS, data sharing middleware, polylingual persistence, transactions, distributed object systems, object stores, garbage collectors, WWW and persistence, persistent computation implementation, orthogonally persistent Java, and personal information devices.

Reseña del editor

The Ninth International Workshop on Persistent Object Systems (POS 9) took place at the SAS Radisson Hotel in Lillehammer, Norway, from 6th to 8th September 2000. Previous workshops in the series have been held in Scotland (1 and 2), Australia (3), the USA (4), Italy (5), France (6), and the USA (7 and 8). In keeping with those workshops, POS 9 was short but intensive, fitting 28 papers and panel sessions, a boat 1 excursion, and some memorable meals into two and a half days. The participants' concentration was no doubt helped by the Northern European weather that prevailed for most of the workshop. Continuing a trend experienced over the previous few workshops, POS 9 had difficulty attracting a high number of papers. Of course it is hard to tell whether this is a problem with the field of persistent systems itself, or merely a consequence of the increasing number of workshops, conferences, and journals competing for submissions. In his Epilogue to the proceedings, Ron Morrison makes some interesting suggestions for possible improvements to future POS workshops. Out of a total of 26 submitted papers, 19 were accepted for presentation at the 2 workshop. Breaking down by region, 6 1/2 came from the USA , 1 from Africa, 3 1/2 from Australia, and 8 from Europe. In a new development for POS, an equal number of papers came from England and from Scotland.
