Hi Jim:

	Can you also send me the citation (or at least the year) of
	the original publication in OOPSLA of your propagation ideas,

Actually, OOPSLA did not publish our propagation ideas except through
a 1991 tutorial and
references to our papers. However, OOPSLA published our Law Of Demeter
paper 

@INPROCEEDINGS{LHLR:law-paper,
AUTHOR = "Karl J. Lieberherr and Ian Holland and Arthur J. Riel",
TITLE = "Object-oriented programming: An objective sense of style",
BOOKTITLE = oopsla,
MONTH = "September",
ADDRESS = "San Diego, CA",
YEAR = "1988",
VOL = 23,
NUMBER = 11,
PAGES = "323-334",
NOTE = "A short version of this paper appears in
{\em IEEE Computer Magazine},
June 1988, Open Channel section, pages 78-79."
}

which was the starting point, along with your work, of our propagation work.

The first refereed conference publication on our propagation ideas is
(besides the 1991 OOPSLA tutorial on Demeter):

@INPROCEEDINGS{karl:comp-enh,
AUTHOR = "Karl J. Lieberherr",
BOOKTITLE = "Information Processing '92, 12th World Computer Congress",
TITLE = "Component Enhancement: An Adaptive Reusability Mechanism for Groups of
Collaborating Classes",
YEAR = "1992",
ADDRESS = "Madrid, Spain",
PAGES = "179-185",
EDITOR = "J. van Leeuwen",
PUBLISHER = "Elsevier" }

The first journal publication  on our propagation ideas is:

@ARTICLE{growth-plan,
AUTHOR = "Karl J. Lieberherr and Cun Xiao",
TITLE = "{Object-Oriented Software Evolution}",
JOURNAL = "IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering",
YEAR = 1993,
PAGES = "313-343",
MONTH = "April",
VOLUME = "19" ,
NUMBER = "4"
}

The most comprehensive journal publication is:

@ARTICLE{lieber-palsberg-xiao94,
AUTHOR = "Jens Palsberg and Cun Xiao and Karl Lieberherr",
TITLE = "Efficient Implementation of Adaptive Software",
JOURNAL = "ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems" ,
YEAR = 1995,
PAGES = "264--292",
MONTH = mar,
VOLUME = 17,
NUMBER = 2
}

	as I can never quite find it when I want it.
