The workshop was held on October 24, 2004 as part of the OOSPL 2004 in Vancouver.

The [[http://www.kircher-schwanninger.de/workshops/MVCDC/Main.html][Call for Papers]] contains links to
the submitted position papers and information about the workshop organisers etc.

The workshop participants agreed to document (some of) the workshop results using this wiki.

After a discussion of the [[MVCDC2004 Papers][Position Papers]] several topics were selected
and grouped together. For each topic group a seperate group discussed the questions in detail
and presented the results in a plenary session afterwards.
