This year, for the tenth time, the European Conference on Object-Oriented
Programming (ECOOP) series, in cooperation with Springer, is glad to offer
the object-oriented research community the ECOOP Workshop Reader, a compendium
of workshop reports pertaining to the ECOOP 2006 conference, held
in Nantes during July 3–7, 2006.
ECOOP 2006 hosted 19 high-quality research workshops covering a large
spectrum of hot research topics. These workshops were chosen through a tight
peer review process following a specific call for proposals. We are very grateful
to the members of the Workshop Selection Committee for their careful reviews
and hard work in putting together the excellent workshop program. We also
want to thank all submitters, accepted or not, to whom the workshop program
equally owes its quality. This selection process was then followed by a selection
of workshop participants, done by each team of organizers based on an open call
for papers. This participant selection process ensured that we gathered the most
active researchers in each workshop research area, and therefore had fruitful
working meetings
