I will be speaking on language-based ocaps at this event

My talk will be essentially identical to my Oopsla talk
http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/dls/dls07/

Btw, I enjoyed the summary at
http://blog.scroogieboy.com/2007/10/oopsla-2007-day-2-dynamic-lang.html

I will also be giving this talk soon in Brussels, and will announce once I have more specific info.

Happen to know if any of these places will put a video of your talk online?

I doubt it; but I'll let you know if I find out otherwise.

At some point, I will do Google techtalks that go over similar
material. But I do not yet have concrete plans for those.

> On Tuesday April 29th, the Programming Technology Lab organises a software engineering seminar with two invited talks by international speakers. Anyone interested is cordially invited to attend this seminar. If you are planning to attend, let us know such that we can make the necessary practical arrangements.

> Agents and components, although developed independently, are both concepts aimed at designing more composable and adaptable software. The first part of the talk will compare them along the history of programming abstractions and include other important steps such as, e.g., objects, actors and services. More precisely, we will consider a common referential with three dimensions: action selection flexibility, coupling flexibility and abstraction level. Then, if times allows, in a second part of the talk, we will point out a few directions for combining notions of agents and components. A first direction is in making components more autonomous and flexible, by importing some ideas from agents and multi-agent systems. A second and dual direction is in using components to design building blocks for constructing agents.

His general research interests are about object-based and agent-based models, architectures and techniques for high-level and adaptive cooperative distributed computing. Some application fields of interest are cooperative information systems, ubiquitous systems, participatory simulation, and computer music. Jean-Pierre Briot was recently a visiting researcher at "Department of computer science" of PUC-Rio, in the software engineering research lab (LES), headed by Professor Carlos Lucena.

> In 1973, John Reynold's and James Morris' Gedanken Language retrofit object-capability security into an Algol-like base language. Today, there are active projects retrofitting Java, Javascript, Python, Mozart/Oz, OCaml, Perl, and Pict. These represent a variety of approaches, with different tradeoffs regarding legacy compatibility, safety, and expressivity. In this talk I propose a taxonomy of these approaches, and discuss some of the lessons learned to date. I will also demo CapDesk, a proof of concept of a virus-safe desktop, applying object-capability principles at the user interface level.
