Hi Johan:

maybe your module system for APPCs could define a common
language of discourse?

===================

I have been invited to the following Dagstuhl seminar:

Component-Based Programming under Different Paradigms

March 7-12, 1999

Schloss Dagstuhl, Wadern

Organizers: Pomberger/Pree/Wadler/Weihe

Much research has focussed on object-oriented, template-oriented,
and functional programming techniques. ... not much interaction
between them ... each of these communities takes a purist viewpoint 
which regards the other paradigms as strongly inferior.

.. the definition of components and the techniques for combining them ...
vary greatly.

By the end of the seminar, we would like to come up with the following results:

1. A common language of discourse across the cultures
