Purpose

The purpose of this document is to gather useful references on compositional software that you think other workshop participants might want to read. If several people spend fifteen minutes each, we might be able to generate a useful list very quickly.

Instructions

Workshop participants and interested others: send email formatted as follows:

• To line - send to thompson@objs.com
• Subject containing REFERENCES
• Body containing references and sentence-to-short paragraph annotations I will see that your submissions are posted to this web page (usually within a week or so of receipt).

Offer good through January 1998.
