                  formal semantic description of programming
                  languages. Since its appearance in 1992, action
                  semantics has been used to describe major
                  languages such as Pascal, SML, ANDF, and Java,
                  and various tools for processing
                  action-semantic descriptions have been
                  developed. Recently, the close relationship
                  between action semantics and monadic approaches
                  to denotational semantics has been
                  established.\bibpar

                  proceedings, much interesting work was
                  presented and discussed during the workshop,
                  focussing on tool support for Action Semantics,
                  recent action-semantic descriptions,

                  satellite workshop of ECOOP~'99, is composed of
                  two complementary thematic building blocks.
                  
                  The first is addressing the motto `Semantics of
                  Objects {\em As} Processes' literally in that
                  objects are represented as a derived concept
                  within a framework of processes; we are happy
                  to welcome Oscar Nierstrasz, Markus Lumpe, and
                  Jean-Guy Schneider as invited speakers to
                  present the work they have been accomplishing
                  in this area|starting out from a mobile process
                  calculus|and to let us learn about their
                  conclusions. This session is rounded up by a
                  verification approach using a temporal logic as
                  a target setting for, in this case, UML-style
                  objects.
                  
                  The second building block, divided into a
                  session on behavioral subtyping and another one
                  on behavioral typing, is more to be seen as an
                  adaptation of the process-theoretic viewpoint
                  to some object-oriented framework. While the
                  typed $\lambda$-calculus is a firm ground to
                  study typing for object-oriented languages, the
                  typing of concurrent objects poses particular
                  problems due to synchronization constraints. A
                  static notion of typing is not powerful enough
                  to capture dynamic properties of objects'
                  behavior, like non-uniform service
                  availability. Concurrency theory inspires
                  dynamic notions of typing and subtyping, and
                  the works that constitute this block of SOAP
                  '99 exemplify the research currently being done
                  in the field.",

                  talks by Alan Bawden, Charles Consel, and Olin
                  Shivers. The present BRICS technical report

                  UK, France, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Australia,
                  New Zealand, Japan, and Singapore, incidentally
                  all from academia. 85 reviews were generated
