%X This report contains the Proceedings of the Workshop on Parallel / high-performance Object-Oriented Scientific Computing (POOSC'99) at the European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP'99) which was held in Lisbon, Portugal on June 15, 1999. The workshop is a joint organization by the Special Interest Group on Object Oriented Technologies of the Esprit Working Group EuroTools and Los Alamos National Laboratory.While object-oriented programming is being embraced in industry, particularly in the form of C++ and Java, its acceptance by the parallel / high-performance scientific programming community is tentative at best. In this latter domain performance is invariably of paramount importance, where even the transition from FORTRAN 77 to C is incomplete, primarily because of performance loss. On the other hand, three factors together practically dictate the use of language features that provide better paradigms for abstraction: increasingly complex numerical algorithms, application requirements, and hardware (e.g. deep memory hierarchies, numbers of processors, communication and I/O).In spite of considerable skepticism in the community, various small groups are developing significant parallel scientific applications and software frameworks in C++ and FORTRAN 90; others are investigating the use of Java. This workshop seeks to bring together practitioners and researchers in this emerging field to `compare notes' on their work - describe existing, developing, or proposed software; tried and proposed programming languages and techniques; performance issues and their realized or proposed resolution; and discuss points of concern for progress and acceptance of object-oriented scientific computing.
