Scientific application software continues to grow in complexity due
to increasing functionality, evolution of codes, the use of
parallelism, and other factors.  As a result, more and more time is
spent writing and maintaining computer code, and less time is spent
on the application itself.  Object technology offers a way to break
this cycle.  Structuring applications as assemblages of software
objects, rather than as monolithic programs, may pave the way for
more efficient and complex applications by making software reusable,
distributable, and modular.

The annual OONSCI conference (formerly known as OONSKI) promotes the
use of object technology for constructing numerical applications. 
OONSCI provides a forum for computer scientists and scientific
programmers, in both academe and industry, to learn about issues
related to object-oriented programming and discuss their experiences.

SCOPE:

Examples of appropriate topics include:
     *  experiences with object technology
     *  use of non-programming language specific objects - for 
        example, CORBA or Visual Basic controls.
     *  object-oriented languages and environments
     *  object-oriented design
     *  reusable software objects
     *  performance issues related to object-oriented programming

Application domain specific papers should focus on the
object-oriented techniques used. Sample application domains of
interest to OONSCI are:
    *  image processing
    *  computer graphics
    *  CAD
    *  PDE solvers 
    *  engineering
