It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the ECOOP 2015 conference that is held for the first time in Prague.

ECOOP has become over its almost 30 year history the superior event for researchers, scholars, and companies who believe in object-oriented principles of design and programming. These object-oriented principles have had tremendous impact both in computer science research and in IT industry; and ECOOP has become the meeting place for those who advance the knowledge in this field.

CTU in Prague with its more 300 year history belongs to the premium European technical universities and Faculty of Information Technology is its youngest faculty. Since the beginning 5 years ago, object oriented programming has become an important part of our research and curricula portfolio at bachelor, master, and PhD level. Our organizing team of young scolars and students will do its best to make the Prague edition of ECOOP success. I am looking forward to seeing you here in Prague in July 2015.

Sincerely,

Pavel Tvrdik
