Abstract

This report describes the “Roles‘07 — Roles and Relationships” workshop held at ECOOP‘07 in Berlin on July 30 and 31, 2007. The aims and organization of the workshop are described, and the main contributions of the presentations and invited talks are summarized, so to have a useful survey of current issues in the field. The description of the discussion and conclusions end the paper.
