De ene oorzaak van ellende is dat door verweving met (vermoede) economische belangen het veld van de slogans, reclamekreten, misleidende termen en valse beloften is vergeven: Expert Systems, Learning Machines, Teaching Machines, Automatic Programming, Higher-Order Languages, Visual programming, Program Animation, Software Engineering, het is allemaal humbug."(E.W.Dijkstra [9])' Workshop Purpose and GoalsThe purpose of this workshop was to explore behavioral modeling in the context of object-oriented models, with an emphasis towards:1) modeling the collective behavior of objects, with a particular interest in declarative constructs, and 2) modeling viewpoints, both along the lines of ODP's viewpoints (e.g., enterprise and information viewpoints versus computational viewpoint [ 1,5]), and in terms of different aspects of object behavior being of interest to different kinds of users within an organization (different domain experts, analysts, developers) or a la [2].The presentations and discussions at the workshop provided both a snapshot of the state of the art and practice, 'The one cause of misery is that, because of (apparent) involvement of economic interests, the field abounds with catchphrases, advertising slogans, misleading terms and false promises: Expert Systems, Learning Machines, Teaching machines, Automatic Programming, Higher-Order Languages, Visual Programming, Program Anima-Addendum to the
