Presentation slides

• For Alan Kaminsky's presentation on Many-to-Many Invocation, go here and look for the presentation entitled Many-to-Many Invocation: A New Object Oriented Paradigm for Ad Hoc Collaborative Systems. The slides can be viewed on line, and there is a reference for the paper. Or, you can look up the video of the talk on the Languages for Lunch web site. (You will need to burn a CD if you don't have a computer that can represent virtual disk volumes.)
