Dear Selfers:

<p>Some time ago by January, I promised I would make available the

<br>outcome of my readings. Well the final Scientific Report for Foundation

<br>of Protection to Research of São Paulo State will be at my home

pages

by September.

<br>But right now I have a short position (4 pages)  entitled An evolutive

architecture reasons as a semiotic, hermeneutic and autopoietic entity.

<br>that I will present at the

<br>International Workshop on Principles of Software Evolution(IWPSE 2001)

<br>September 10-11, 2001, Vienna

<br><A HREF="http://www.jaist.ac.jp/IWPSE2001/">http://www.jaist.ac.jp/IWPSE2001/</A>

in Vienna in September.

<p>I would like to receive your comments especially because I joined last

<br>ECOOP'01 in Budapest and talking to many language designers there

<br>I concluded that the lack of training of  computer scientists

in art

<br>makes it difficult for them to design  or understand really interactive

<br>and expressive languages like Self. Many  programmers there praised

SElf/Us

but do not know to do something similar or program in it.

<p>On the other hand, there is a growing consensus that OO paradigm is

reaching stagnation. This is considered worse than a crisis.

<br> 

I look forward to your comments.

<p>Best wishes

<br>Albertina
