After the first few meetings, I'm planning to focus on problems and their patterns, rather than particular frameworks. I don't who should be involved in each problem. Since each of you is studying a framework, you are the ones who can tell whether your framework attempts to solve the problem, so you should tell me which topics you should work on.
| Date | Topic |
| Feb 03 | Overview of Java packages, Beans, AWT, and Habanero. |
| Feb 10 | OpenStep. |
| Feb 17 | ET++ and a comparison of event systems. You might want to reread the Observer, Command, and Chain of Responsibility patterns in preparation for this. The people who will compare their event systems (Hiroaki Nakamura, Ryuichi Kishibe Brian Swetland, Greg Ferrar, Dave Anderson, and Jeff Barcalow as Eagle AND Smalltalk representative) should meet once or twice before this and hammer out their comparisons. |
| Feb 24 | Windowing systems. Greg, Linda Sun, Brian, Dave and John Brant should meet a couple of times to compare their windowing systems. |
| Mar 03 | |
| March 10 | Reflection. Brian Foote will meet with other "reflectors" to plan this. |
| March 17 | Graphics Systems? |
| March 24 | Spring break! |
| March 31 | Component systems? |
| April 7 | Object streaming (Persistence, Marshalling)? |
| April 14 | VuSystem (Manolescu) |

| April 28 | 3D (Helleve, ??) |
