Casero et al.
-------------

OOP languages provide dependencies between classes and their
instantiations in various forms. Dependency information helps
in investigations about existing or planned dependency, e.g.,
for ongoing development, for deployment, for testing, for
maintenance, even run-time access. The paper discusses C#
attributes for dependency analysis and describes a tool to be
integrated into VisualStudio.NET.




Attardi et al.
--------------

In the .NET environment information about types and their
structure, is available and used for many purposes. Availability
of the socalled metadata is an essential criteria of .NET. 
The authors have developed a compiler to translate .NET assemblies
into programs for a Lego Mindstorms robot.




Haller
------

Harald Haller reports experience in successfully designing two
large .NET applications in C#, a database maintenance system and
a real estate investment system. A common three-tier system
architecture has been applied in these Web-based applications.




Piessens et al.
---------------

.NET metadata allow activation of run-time services, e.g., access
control, synchronization, transactions and so forth. Two mechanisms
are provided, weaving-based and interception-based. The paper
discusses some pros and cons, especially under the point-of-view
of aspect-oriented programming.




Charfi et al.
-------------

Facilities for component composition are an actual topic in
software development and deployment. Approaches are discussed
in general and their pros and cons highlighted. Charfi et al.
study the dynamic .NET solution based on interaction patterns.



Hoffmann
--------

The organiser of the workshop, Hans-Juergen Hoffmann, gives a
summary about the workshop, addressing also topics discussed
besides the formal paper presentations; additional documentation
links are mentioned, e.g., to the still available ppt-files
used in the presentations during the workshop and to a list of
abbreviations in the scope of .NET; some organisational facts
are listed.
