As Demonstrations Chair of OOPSLA'93, I am searching for interesting,
exciting, relevant, etc. demos of object oriented technology and systems.
One of the special interest topics this year is Ada, and thus demos
involving, supporting, or using Ada would be fine candidates.  And, while
I'm sure that there are many interesting potential demos around, I don't
know what or where they are.

So, if you have a demo, or you know someone who does, please contact me at:

"But," you wonder, "will my demo get in?"  There has always been plenty of
space for demos at OOPSLAs past and there is no reason to believe otherwise
this time around -- good demos will get in.  (Note that sales pitches will
not.  Also note that it is possible to give a good technical demo of a
commercial product without giving a sales pitch.)  I encourage the
submission of demos of interesting commercial products, interesting
research efforts, interesting ... get the idea?

"But why should I bother?," you ask.  Because OOPSLA is the premier
gathering of technical people in the object oriented community, and a
fantastic, out-of-this-world demo to this crowd will do wonders for the
image of your system, framework, application, solution, ...  

Thanks for your submissions and suggestions,
Bjorn N. Freeman-Benson
