Eighth International Workshop on Persistent Object Systems:
Design, Implementation and Use
Asilomar, California
30th August - 2nd September 1998
The POS workshop series focuses on design, implementation and use of
persistent object systems. The seven preceding workshops have given POS
the tradition of a workshop where active researchers discuss up-to-date
research issues in an atmosphere of lively debate. The collective
proceedings are generally regarded as a major source of research level
knowledge about persistent systems.
Attendance at POS is limited to 40-50 active researchers. Keynote
discussions are used to focus debate onto current research issues.
Pre-printed papers are available to all participants and discussion is
expected to lead to improvement of the papers and a record of their
interrelationships. For further details see

The main issue these workshops address is how best to support the
implementation of long-lived, data-intensive, application systems. Specific
areas of interest include:
* Large scale persistent systems
* Persistent Object Stores
* Methodologies for persistent programming
* Architectures for supporting persistence
* Type systems and persistence
* Evolution of persistent data
* Persistent applications and applications of persistence technology
* Concurrency, persistence and transactions
* Tools for the management of persistent systems
* Compilers for languages supporting persistence
* Persistent and database programming languages
The workshop will start on the morning of Sunday 30th August 1998, and will end
on the morning of Wednesday 2nd September. The dates have been chosen to
fit with VLDB which will be held in New York on 24th - 27th August and
precede PJW2 which will also be held in Asilomar on 2nd - 5th September
1998.
