Conference Theme
****************


The decisions on programming languages, tools and environments are of
crucial importance for the success of most scientific and commercial
data processing organisations. These decisions must take into account
local tradition but must also be based on broad and thoroughly
researched perspectives of current programming languages. Modular and
object-oriented languages will typically speed-up the process of
program development, stimulate reuse of existing code and simplify
maintenance or documentation of software systems. In practice,
however, commercially viable languages differ substantially with
respect to their implementation volume, programming performance and
fields of application.


The Joint Modular Languages Conference 1994 in Ulm provides an
opportunity for data processing professionals, programmers, teachers
and researchers to become aware of alternative and more recent
developments in the field of modular and object-oriented languages.
Relevant topics will be presented from both theoretical and practical
perspectives and adequate time is allocated for discussions. We
cordially invite professional programmers from all language
communities together with Pascal, Modula-2 and Oberon programmers to
join the conference and to share our and their experiences.




***********************
Preconference Tutorials
***********************


Three tutorials will introduce software engineers from one programming
community to at least one alternative language environment (C++,
Ada/Ada9x and Oberon). Each tutorial is a self contained course and
discusses key concepts such as modularity, type consistency, classes,
inheritance, and dynamic binding from a language specific point of
view. The tutorials comprise 4 to 6 lecture hours and are augmented by
laboratory exercises.


We reserve the right to limit the number of participants for each
course. All lecturers are experienced university teachers and language
implementors, guaranteeing a high level of expertise and teaching
efficiency. They will be available for in depth questions throughout
the conference. The conference secretariat will gladly send you a
detailed description of all three courses.

Companion Programme

Ulm is a city with a rich history and many resources. First mentioned
in 854, it has attractions such as the gothic Cathedral with the
worldUs highest spire, the historic FishermenUs Quarter, the
picturesque Town Hall, and the Danube river where it is still blue.
Other facets of Ulm include the giant federal fortress built around
1850, truck and bus factories, industrial research centers, and the
University with a world famous medical faculty. You will be able to
discover the treasures of Ulm on a guided tour. We will show you the
place where the flight of Albrecht Berblinger, one of the first
aviators, failed in 1811. Another tour will take you to a romantic
little town and the natural beauties surrounding Ulm, above all the
Blautopf, end point and climax of a system of underground rivers,
hundreds of kilometers long. Another highlight will be the boat tour
on the Danube river with striking views of the medieval city.


We will try to share with you the beauty and culture of Ulm and make
your time in Ulm worth remembering.
