Especially in large systems or suites of applications, it is often important that the same objects appear different and behave differently when used in different contexts, by different clients, in different ways, or at different times. Support for such subjectivity promises greater flexibility in writing, extending and combining object-oriented systems and applications, and at the same time raises many interesting technical and even philosophical issues. Papers on all aspects of subjectivity in object-oriented systems are invited for the special issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: o Concepts and philosophical issues. o Motivation, requirements and uses of subjectivity. o Models and language mechanisms. o Analysis, design and programming methodology. o Semantics, including: creation and copying of objects, encapsulation, static versus dynamic views, first-classness of views. o Specification issues, including: the meaning of invariants in a subjective system, characterizing views and inter-view dependencies. o Implementation issues. o Relationship of subjectivity to versioning, inheritance, reflection, distributed systems and other related areas or mechanisms. The deadline for submission is APRIL 28th, 1995. Electronic submissions are preferred, and will lead to faster reviewing, but five paper copies are acceptable.
