OBJECTIVES  
The objective of  this symposium is to bring  together researchers and
practioners in the areas of software engineering and formal methods to
discuss   the   concepts   of   reusability   and   modifiability   in
component-based and object-oriented software systems.

FORMAT
The symposium  is a  four days event  in the  style of the  former REX
workshops,   organised   to  provide   an   atmosphere  that   fosters
collaborative work, discussions and interaction.  The program consists
of  keynote and  technical  presentations, and  contains an  exquisite
social  event.  Speakers'  contributions will  be published  after the
symposium in Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer-Verlag.
