I’m on the PC for the\nDistributed Objects and Applications<\/a>\nconference\nagain this year. I haven’t yet been able to attend (I don’t really “do”\nconferences anyhow – I prefer to spend my “soft time” doing standards\ninstead 8-), but IIRC, the papers from the last one were pretty interesting.\nBut then, I’m the guy with the “distobj” email address, so that shouldn’t\ncome as any surprise. 8-)<\/p>\n\n

\n                         C A L L   F O R   P A P E R S\n                         =============================\n\n             International Symposium on\n             Distributed Objects and Applications (DOA)\n         Agia Napa, Cyprus, Oct 31 - Nov 4, 2005\n\n\n                      http:\/\/www.cs.rmit.edu.au\/fedconf\/\n\n               Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag\n\n\nSome of the world's most important and critical software systems are\nbased on distribution technologies. For example, distributed objects\nrun critical systems in industries such as telecommunication,\nmanufacturing, finance, insurance, and government. When a phone call\nis made or a financial transaction performed, chances are that\ndistributed objects are acting in the background.\n\nWhether you are a researcher or practitioner who is building\ninnovative distributed systems, evaluating emerging technologies, and\nmanaging large-scale applications, you should consider contributing a\npractice report or a research paper to this event to present, discuss\nand obtain feedback for your ideas from other practitioners and\nresearchers active in this area.\n\nAlthough existing distribution technologies, such as CORBA, DCOM and\nJava-based technologies have been widely successful, they are still\nevolving and serving as the basis for emerging technologies and\nstandards, such as CORBA Components, J2EE, .NET, and Web\nServices. Regardless of the specifics of each approach, they all aim\nto provide openness, reliability, scalability, distribution\ntransparency, security, ease of development, and support for\nheterogeneity between applications and platforms. Also, of utmost\nimportance today is the ability to integrate distributed object\nsystems with other technologies such as the web, multimedia systems,\ndatabases, message-oriented middleware, the Global Information Grid,\nand peer-to-peer systems. However, significant research and\ndevelopment continues to be required in all of these areas in order to\ncontinue to advance the state of the art and broaden the scope of the\napplicability of distribution technologies.\n\nTwo Dimensions: Research & Practice\n\nResearch in distributed objects, components, services, and\napplications establishes new principles that open the way to solutions\nthat can meet the requirements of tomorrow's applications. Conversely,\npractical experience in real-world projects drives this same research\nby exposing new ideas and posing new types of problems to be\nsolved. With DOA 2005 we explicitly intend to provide a forum to help\nthis mutual interaction occur, and to trigger and foster\nit. Submissions are therefore welcomed along both these dimensions:\nresearch (fundamentals, concepts, principles, evaluations, patterns,\nand algorithms) and practice (applications, experience, case studies,\nand lessons). Contributions attempting to cross over the gap between\nthese two dimensions are particularly encouraged.\n\nAs we are fully aware of the differences in environment for research\nand development that exist in academia and industry, submissions from\neach will be treated accordingly and judged by a peer review not only\nfor scientific rigor (in the case of \"academic research\" papers), but\nalso for originality and generality of applications and case studies\n(in the case of \"case studies\" papers).\n\nDOA 2005 is a joint event with two other conferences organized within\nthe global theme \"Integration, Interoperability, and Internet\nComputing 2005.\" This federated event co-locates three related and\ncomplementary conferences in the areas of Intelligent Networked\nInformation Systems, covering key issues in data and web semantics\n(ODBASE'05), distributed objects, infrastructure and enabling\ntechnology and Internet computing (DOA'05), and workflow, cooperation,\nand interoperability (CoopIS'05), as required for the deployment of\nInternet- and intranet-based systems in organizations and for\ne-business. More details about this federated event can be found at\nhttp:\/\/www.cs.rmit.edu.au\/fedconf.\n\nTOPICS OF INTEREST\n\nThe topics of this symposium include, but are not limited to:\n\n    * Adaptive distributed object and component systems\n    * Aspect-oriented approaches for augmenting distribution technologies\n    * Application case studies of distribution technologies (e.g., CORBA,\nJava-based, .Net, and Web Services)\n    * Applications and evaluations of the Model Driven Architecture approach\n    * Component-based software development\n    * Design patterns for distributed systems\n    * Distributed business objects and components\n    * Distribution technologies for embedded systems\n    * Interoperability between object systems and complementary technologies\n    * Management of distributed systems\n    * Mobility in distributed systems\n    * Real-time solutions for distributed objects\n    * Relationship to peer-to-peer technologies\n    * Scalability for distributed objects and object middleware\n    * Security for distributed object systems\n    * Service oriented architectures\n    * Solutions for (massive) caching and replication\n    * Specification and enforcement of Quality of Service\n    * Technologies for reliability and fault-tolerance\n    * Web-based distributed objects\n    * Web Services\n\n\nIMPORTANT DATES\n\n  Abstract Submission Deadline   May 24, 2005\nPaper Submission Deadline May 31, 2005\nAcceptance Notification August 10, 2005\nFinal Version Due August 25, 2005\nConference October 31 - November 4, 2005\n\nSUBMISSION GUIDELINES\n\nAll submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,\nsignificance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All\npapers will be refereed by at least three members of the program\ncommittee, and at least two will be experts from industry in the case\nof practice reports. All submissions must be in English. Submissions\nmust not exceed 18 pages in the final camera-ready paper\nstyle. Submissions must be laid out according to the final\ncamera-ready formatting instructions and must be submitted in PDF\nformat.\n\nThe final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS\n(Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Author instructions can be found\nat:\n\nhttp:\/\/www.springer.de\/comp\/lncs\/authors.html\n\nFailure to comply with the above formatting instructions for submitted\npapers will lead to the outright rejection of the paper without\nreview.\n\nFailure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically\nexcludes a paper from the proceedings.\n\nORGANISATION COMMITTEE\n\nGeneral Co-Chairs (fedconf@cs.rmit.edu.au)\n\n    * Robert Meersman, VU Brussels, Belgium\n    * Zahir Tari, RMIT University, Australia\n\nProgram Committee Co-Chairs (doa2005@cs.rmit.edu.au)\n\n    * Ozalp Babaoglu, University of Bologna, Italy\n    * H.-Arno Jacobsen, University of Toronto, Canada\n    * Joseph Loyall, BBN Technologies, USA\n\nLocal Organising Chair (skevos@cs.ucy.ac.cy)\n\n    * Skevos Evripidou, University of Cyprus\n\nPublicity Chair (bright@cs.pdx.edu)\n\n    * Laura Bright, Portland State University, Oregon, USA\n\nProgram Committee Members (incomplete list)\n\n    * Cristiana Amza (University of Toronto, Canada)\n    * Matthias Anlauff (Kestrel Institute, USA)\n    * Mark Baker (Independent consultant, Canada)\n    * Guruduth Banavar (IBM, USA)\n    * Alberto Bartoli (University of Trieste, Italy)\n    * Judith Bishop (University of Pretoria)\n    * Gordon Blair (Lancaster University, UK)\n    * Harold Carr (SUN, USA)\n    * Shing-Chi Cheung (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,\nHong Kong)\n    * Geoff Coulson (Lancaster University, UK)\n    * Francisco \"Paco\" Curbera (IBM, USA)\n    * Wolfgang Emmerich (University College London, UK)\n    * Patrick Eugster (EPFL, Switzerland)\n    * Pascal Felber (University of Neuchatel, Switzerland)\n    * Kurt Geihs (Universitaet Kassel, Germany)\n    * Jeff Gray (University of Alabama at Birmingham)\n    * Mohand-Said Hacid (Universit\u00e9 Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France)\n    * Franz Hauck (University of Ulm, Germany)\n    * Peter Honeyman (University of Michigan, USA)\n    * Rebecca Isaacs (Microsoft Research, USA)\n    * Mehdi Jazayeri (Technical University of Vienna, Austria)\n    * Bettina Kemme (McGill University, Canada)\n    * Fabio Kon (University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil)\n    * Peter Loehr (University of Berlin, Germany)\n    * Frank Manola (Independent consultant)\n    * Francois Pacull (Xerox, France)\n    * Simon Patarin (University of Bologna, Italy)\n    * Rajendra Raj (Rochester Institute of Technology, USA)\n    * Andry Rakotonirainy (The University of Queensland, Australia)\n    * Luis Rodrigues (University of Lisboa, Portugal)\n    * Rick Schantz (BBN, USA)\n    * Douglas Schmidt (Vanderbilt University, USA)\n    * Richard Soley (OMG, USA)\n    * Michael Stal (Siemens, Germany)\n    * Stefan Tai (IBM, USA)\n    * Hong Va Leong (Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong)\n    * Maarten van Steen (Vrije Universiteit, The Netherlands)\n    * Steve Vinoski (Iona, USA)\n    * Doug Wells (The Open Group, USA)\n<\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I’m on the PC for the Distributed Objects and Applications conference again this year.
