On the pages of each quarterly issue of Theory and Practice of Object Systems (TAPOS), you'll get intensive, in-depth studies on some of the field's most intriguing topics, backed up with solid architectural and implementation details.
You'll find theoretical papers that break significant new ground or unify and extend existing theories. And you'll study systems papers that emphasize underlying principles and important discoveries.
It's a meeting ground for the best researchers in the field.
TAPOS is devoted to all the key areas
related to object technology:
- Methodologies
- Programming environments
- Databases
- Languages -- C++, Smalltalk
- Concurrency research and applications
- Graphical user interfaces
- Object-class libraries
- Object-oriented analysis and design
- Modelling and Interoperability Issues
- Implementation Issues
- Distributed Object System Architectures
- Support for Object Persistence
- Object Naming, Identification, and Location
- Object Migration and Mobility
- Support for Concurrency and Transactions
- Object Behavior
- Object Semantics and Heterogeneity
- Object Views
- Management of Object Replication
- Queries and Query Optimization
- Emerging Standards
