Track: CONCURRENCY & INTEGRITY / Time: Tuesday 13:30 - 14:30 / Location: Filuren, Musikhuset

Time, perception, values, identity, visibility, state, persistence, memory, transience, process, place, change, communication. We use these terms everyday. Yet, despite its real-world modeling flavor, OO has little to say about them. What do these terms mean, and why do they matter to our programs? Which ones ought to become first-class entities in our languages? What might that look like? What infrastructure support would it require?

Attendees should get an insight into some of the issues and ideas surrounding the modeling of process in software.
