The talk was titled (partly for marketing purposes!) "The Broken Promises of OO" The slides are available from my home page: http://www.cs.ukc.ac.uk/people/rpg/tsl2/ Direct link: http://www.cs.ukc.ac.uk/people/rpg/tsl2/broken-promises.pdf I look forward to your comments! Some time soon I'll write it up as a paper - I'm not sure how the slides will come across without the commentary. Tom. p.s. At one point, I discuss the problems with the observer design pattern. A big thanks to Marcel for pointing me towards this (I never did reply to your mail Marcel).
