Introduction
The following pages collect extended abstracts by those authors, who presented their
currently ongoing research during the Work-in-Progress session at the eighth annual
conference on Principles and Practice of Programming in Java (PPPJ) that took place in
Vienna from September 15 to September 17 2010.

I would like to thank the reviewers from the PPPJ program committee, the authors
for sharing their ideas with fellow researchers, as well as everyone at the conference
whose participation in the following discussions made the session a success.
