4. Title:	Sather-K: Language, Implementation and Use

5. Target Audience: general audience

6. Abstract: Sather-K is an object-oriented language developed for simplicity and
   ease of use. It grew out of Steve Omohundro's Sather development at
   ICSI. It has extensively been used in introductory courses as the
   first imperative programming language and in advanced courses for
   teaching the development of reusable libraries. The former
   implementations are currently replaced by a new compiler presently
   running under LINUX. Other backends are in preparation.

   In this talk we survey the language, report about the implementation
   and discuss the use of the language in class and for research projects.


7. Biography: Professor Gerhard Goos is most well-known to computer scientists
   as the principal editor of Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science, a
   position he has held since 1973!!  He has been a professor at the University
   of Karlsruhe since 1970 and has held positions of great influence on
   prominent institutional and governmental boards around the world.

   Professor Goos has published 10 books and more than 50 research papers
   mainly in the areas programming languages, compilers, operating systems and
   software engineering in general.
