                       CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                 The Seventh International Workshop on 
               Foundations of Object-Oriented Languages

                               FOOL 7

                      Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN

                          January 22, 2000
                     Boston, Massachusetts, USA 
                         Following POPL '00

The search for sound principles for object-oriented languages has
given rise to much work on the theory of programming languages during
the past 15 years, leading to a better understanding of the key
concepts of object-oriented languages and to important developments in
type theory, semantics, and program verification. The FOOL workshops
bring together researchers to share new ideas and results in these
areas. 

The next workshop, FOOL 7, will be held in Boston, Massachusetts, on
Saturday January 22, 2000, the day after POPL'00. Six contributed
papers will be presented; in addition, there will be two invited
talks, by Didier Remy (INRIA) and Akinori Yonezawa (U. of Tokyo),
and a panel discussion.

To register for the workshop, use the standard POPL registration form,
available through:
