Episode 24: Keynote -- Pattie Maes

Speakers: Pattie Maes

The ooPSLA 2007 keynote series closed with Pattie Maes talking about Meta-Objects for the World Around Us. Her talk was a fitting bookend to Kiczales's address in the morning, as Maes described ongoing work at the MIT Media Lab to make available all of the information available to people when they need it as they live their lives -- "users" using data and services in context.

Maes's topic also offered a fitting close to ooPSLA, which has always ultimately been about making the world a better place through programs, systems, languages, and applications.
