    Episode 23: Keynote -- Gregor Kiczales

    Speakers: Gregor Kiczales The third and final day of ooPSLA 2007 began with Gregor Kiczales speaking about a theme that has underlay his work throughout the years, from the metaobject protocol and objects to aspect-oriented programming: the role played by context in how people see software when they come to it as developer, user, maintainer, and extender. His keynote address was titled Context, Perspective and Programs.

    Episode 24: Keynote -- Pattie Maes

    Speakers: Pattie Maes The ooPSLA 2007 keynote series closed with Pattie Maes talking about Meta-Objects for the World Around Us. Her talk was a fitting bookend to Kiczales's address in the morning, as Maes described ongoing work at the MIT Media Lab to make available all of the information available to people when they need it as they live their lives -- "users" using data and services in context. Maes's topic also offered a fitting close to ooPSLA, which has always ultimately been about making the world a better place through programs, systems, languages, and applications.
