Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, 1501 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA Introduction the USENIX conference on object-oriented Technologies and systems (COOTS) is held annually in the late spring. the conference evolved from a set of C++ workshops that were held under the auspices of USENIX, the first of which met in 1989. Given the growing diverse interest in object-oriented technologies, the C++ focus of the workshop eventually became too narrow, withthe result that the scope was widened in 1995 to include object-oriented technologies and systems. COOTS is intended to showcase advanced R&D efforts in object-oriented technologies and software systems. the conference emphasizes experimental research and experience gained by using object-oriented techniques and languages to build complex software systemsthat meet real-world needs. COOTS solicits papers in the following general areas: application of, and experiences with, object-oriented technologies in particular domains (e.g. financial, medical, telecommunication); the architecture and implementation of distributed object systems (e.g. CORBA, DCOM, RMI); object-orientedprogramming and specification languages; object-oriented design and analysis. the 4th meeting of COOTS was held 27 - 30 April 1998 at the El Dorado Hotel, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. Several tutorials were given. the technical program proper consisted of a single track of six sessions, withthree paper presentations per session. A keynote address and a provocative panel session rounded out the technical program. the program committee reviewed 56 papers, selecting the best 18 for presentation in the technical sessions. While we solicit papers across the spectrum of applications of object-oriented technologies, this year there was a predominance of distributed, object-oriented papers. the accepted papers reflected this asymmetry, with 15 papers on distributed objects and 3 papers on object-oriented languages. the papers in this special issue are th
