Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag
Some of the world's most important and critical software systems are
based on distributed object technologies. Distributed objects are at the
heart of component-based systems, service-oriented architectures and
agent-based systems. When a phone call is made, a financial transaction
performed, or an order placed at an Internet Shop, chances are that
distributed objects are acting in the background.
Whether you are a researcher or practitioner who is building innovative
distributed systems, evaluating emerging technologies, and managing
large-scale applications, you should consider contributing a practice
report or a research paper to this symposium to present, discuss and
obtain feedback for your ideas from other practitioners and researchers
active in this area.
Although existing distribution technologies, such as CORBA, .NET and
Java-based technologies have been widely successful and have reached
considerable maturity, they are still evolving and serving as
inspiration for emerging technologies and standards, such as Web
Services and Service-Oriented Architectures. Common to all these
approaches are goals such as openness, reliability, scalability,
distribution transparency, security, ease of development, and support
for heterogeneity between applications and platforms. Also, of utmost
importance today is the ability to integrate distributed object systems
with other technologies such as the web, multimedia systems, databases,
grid computing, peer-to-peer systems, and ubiquitous computing
environments. Along with the rapid evolution of these fields, continuous
research and development is required in object-based distribution
technologies to advance the state of the art and broaden the scope of
the applicability.
Two Dimensions: Research & Practice
Research in distributed objects, components, services, and applications
establishes new principles that open the way to solutions that can meet
the requirements of tomorrow's applications. Conversely, practical
experience in real-world projects drives this same research by exposing
new ideas and posing new types of problems to be solved. With DOA 2006
we explicitly intend to provide a forum to help this mutual interaction
occur, and to trigger and foster it. Submissions are therefore welcomed
along both these dimensions: research (fundamentals, concepts,
principles, evaluations, patterns, and algorithms) and practice
(applications, experience, case studies, and lessons). Contributions
attempting to cross over the gap between these two dimensions are
particularly encouraged.
As we are fully aware of the differences in environment for research and
development that exist in academia and industry, submissions from each
will be treated accordingly and judged by a peer review not only for
scientific rigor (in the case of "academic research" papers), but also
for originality and generality of applications and case studies (in the
case of "case studies" papers).
DOA 2006 is a joint event with two other conferences organized within
the global theme "Meaningful internet systems and ubiquitous computing."
This federated event co-locates three related and complementary
conferences in the areas of Intelligent Networked Information Systems,
covering key issues in data and web semantics (ODBASE'06), distributed
objects, infrastructure and enabling technology and Internet computing
(DOA'06), and workflow, cooperation, and interoperability (CoopIS'06),
as required for the deployment of Internet- and intranet-based systems
in organizations and for e-business. More details about this federated
event can be found at http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf .

IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract Submission Deadline May 30, 2006
Paper Submission Deadline June 10, 2006
Acceptance Notification August 5, 2006
Final Version Due August 20, 2006
Conference October 29, 2006
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers submitted to DOA'06 must not have been accepted for publication
elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference.
All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All papers
will be refereed by at least three members of the program committee, and
at least two will be experts from industry in the case of practice
reports. All submissions must be in English. Submissions must not exceed
18 pages in the final camera-ready paper style. Submissions must be laid
out according to the final camera-ready formatting instructions and must
be submitted in PDF format.
The paper submission site is located at:
http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/doa/2006/papers/
The final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Author instructions can be found at:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
Failure to comply with the above formatting instructions for submitted
papers will lead to the outright rejection of the paper without review.
Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically
excludes a paper from the proceedings.
