ECOOP 2003 - Object-Oriented Programming, 2003 17th European Conference, Darmstadt, Germany, July 21-25, 2003. Proceedings Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series, Vol. 2743

The refereed proceedings of the 17th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2003, held in Darmstadt, Germany in July 2003.

The 18 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 88 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on aspects and components; patterns, architecture, and collaboration; types; modeling; algorithms, optimization, and runtimes; and formal techniques and methodology.
