This volume contains papers from the OOPSLA-93 Conference Workshop on
Security for Object-Oriented Systems, held in Washington DC, USA, on 26
September 1993. The workshop addressed the issue of how to introduce an
acceptable level of security into object-oriented systems, as the use of
such systems becomes increasingly widespread. The topic is approached
from two different, but complementary, viewpoints: the incorporation of
security into object-oriented systems, and the use of object-oriented
design and modelling techniques for designing secure applications. The
papers cover a variety of issues, relating to both mandatory and
discretionary security, including security facilities of PCTE,
information flow control, the design of multilevel secure data models,
and secure database interoperation via role translation. The resulting
volume provides a comprehensive overview of current work in this
important area of research.
