Scope
-----

This special issue is related to the topics of the OOPS track at ACM SAC 2009 which took place in 
Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, March 11. The call is open to all authors.
The aim of this special issue is to foster the development of extensions to existing OO languages 
and platforms, as well as the design and implementation of new languages
and platforms embracing and enhancing the object-oriented paradigm. Particularly of interest are 
papers that provide a thorough analysis covering most of the following aspects:
theory, design, implementation, applicability, performance evaluation, and comparison/integration 
with existing constructs and mechanisms.

The specific topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

     * Language design and implementation
     * Type systems, static analysis, formal methods
     * Integration with other paradigms
     * Aspects, components, and modularity
     * Reflection, meta-programming
     * Databases and persistence
     * Distributed, concurrent or parallel systems
     * Interoperability, versioning and software adaptation

Submission details
