Book 615

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the sixth
European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP),
held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, June 29 - July 3, 1992.
Since the "French initiative" to organize the first
conference in Paris, ECOOP has been a very successful forum
for discussing the state of the art of object orientation.
ECOOP has been able to attract papers of a high scientific
quality as well as high quality experience papers describing
the pros and cons of using object orientation in practice.
This duality between theory and practice within object
orientation makes a good example of experimental computer
science.
The volume contains 24 papers, including two invited papers
and 22 papers selected by the programme committee from 124
submissions. Each submitted paper was reviewed by 3-4
people, and the selection of papers was based only on the
quality of the papers themselves.
