December 12-15, 1995 Bond University, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia It gives us great pleasure to invite you to the International Conference on Object-Oriented and Entity-Relationship Modelling (OO-ER'95), formerly the Entity-Relationship Conference (ER). OO-ER'95 is the primary forum for researchers and practitioners in the field of conceptual data modelling. This year's theme is "The Application of Entity-Relationship and Object-Oriented Technology to Information Systems Modelling" and will be covered by papers presented at research and industrial sessions. Tutorials are also scheduled for the first day of the conference. The OO-ER'95 Conference is a four day event. The first day is devoted to two tutorials given by Prof. Gio Wiederhold of Standford University and Prof. Leszek Maciaszek of Macquarie University, Sydney. The remainder will comprise 36 paper presentations, two keynote addresses, panel sessions, industrial and poster paper tracks, and product exhibits from computer companies. The conference will be held at the Gold Coast (some 80 kms away from Brisbane) and in particular at the Bond University campus. Situated on the east coast of Australia, the Gold Coast is the most popular resort in Australia. It offers spectacular beaches and equally spectacular mountain ranges clad by rainforests. It is the tourist capital of Queensland, offering a variety of facilities such us fine hotels, a fine array of restaurants, surfing all year round, casinos, SeaWorld, MovieWorld, and many other attractions. The Gold Coast is in sub-tropical South-east Queensland, and in December, the days will be warm and the nights will be mild. Built to a classical design, Bond University is set on a magnificent 450 hectare site dominated by a beautiful landscaped lake and 80 hectares set aside for waterways and parkland. The campus has received several architectural awards and is already recognized as one of the world's most beautiful. We are looking forward to welcoming you at the Gold Coast.

ADVANCE PROGRAM --------------- Tuesday - December 12, 1995 TUTORIAL SESSION 9:00-12:00 ---------- T1: "A Maintainable Architecture for Information Integration" Gio Wiederhold, Stanford University Today's complex computing environments provide access to vast on-line databases, document databases, knowledge bases, and software. This capability leads to a requirement for powerful and responsive tools for locating, retrieving, abstracting, combining, and projecting the future from the data. These tasks should be performed with a minimum of effort by the customer for the resulting information: the advisor, the decision-maker, the planner, the manager. The architecture being developed for future information systems that satisfy these needs empower domain specialists to mediate the flood of data and help in converting this flood to information. Authority and responsibility for maintenance in our changing world is assigned to these domain specialists. The mediating software modules are interposed using the communication networks that connect data resources and customers. Such a mediated architecture is a logical development of federated and client-server architectures, but provides much better scalability. Mediation addresses multi-user, multi-domain, and heterogeneous resources, and recognizes that legacy is an ongoing issue, as systems continue to change and improve. The architecture provides for focused maintenance of large interoperating systems, greatly reducing their long-term costs. Relevant technologies for mediation include model-based abstraction, knowledge- and case-based reasoning, neural networks, intelligent document processing, statistical analysis, and simulations for projecting data into the future. Mediators provide information for user applications and their multi-media interfaces at the users' workstations. We will indicate the status of supporting software and several onging projects, as well as issues that require further research. Much of this work was initiated by ARPA in its I3 program, as recorded at . 12:00-14:00 Lunch Break ----------------------- 14:00-17:00 ----------- T2: "Fundamentals of Object Oriented Application Development" Leszek A. Maciaszek, Macquarie University, Australia Aims: o Fundamentals of object-oriented application development, object-oriented analysis and design methodologies, and object-oriented support for new IT applications aimed at increasing inter-personal cooperation, productivity and business efficiency. o Overview of object application modelling concepts. Comparison of major methods and tools of object oriented analysis and design. Identification of similarities and differences. o Description of major analysis and design methodologies (incl. Rumbaugh et al., Shlaer & Mellor, Booch, Coad & Yourdon, Wirfs-Brock et al., Jacobson). Guidelines for selecting object-oriented development methods and CASE tools. Agenda: 1. OBJECT-ORIENTED TECHNOLOGY - KEY CONCEPTS REVISITED. Objects, messages, classes. Encapsulation: private, public and protected properties. Object identity. Relationships and referential integrity. Generalization and inheritance. Aggregation and containment. Object databases. 2. OBJECT-ORIENTED ANALYSIS AND DESIGN. Development lifecycle. Structured vs object application development.

You need to buy an adaptor for European/US plugs should you wish to use overseas electrical devices, e.g., laptops, in Australia. The easiest way would be to buy them at the airport where you are landing from your overseas destination. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT AUSTRALIA & QUEENSLAND You can find more information about Australia and/or Queensland on the web page http://www.csu.edu.au/education/australia.html HOW TO GET TO THE CONFERENCE You can flight to Gold Coast into Coolangatta airport directly from Sydney, and then take a taxi or a bus from Coolangatta airport to Bond University. You can also fly to Brisbane. However, Bond University is 1 hour drive from Brisbane. If you are catching a bus from Brisbane, you need to first get to the Gold Coast, and then take a taxi or a bus to Bond University. You can catch a bus from Brisbane to the Gold Coast from either Brisbane airport or the city center (Roma str.). Buses to the Gold Coast run frequently.
