*** Apologies for multiple postings *** Hard Deadline for Abstract Submission : May 30 2006 ============================================================ International Symposium on Distributed Objects and Applications (DOA) Montpellier, France, Oct 29 - Nov 3, 2006 http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf 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 . TOPICS OF INTEREST The topics of this symposium include, but are not limited to: * Adaptive distributed object and component systems * Aspect-oriented approaches for augmenting distribution technologies * Application case studies of distribution technologies (e.g., based on CORBA, Java, .Net, and Web Services) * Applications and evaluations of the Model Driven Architecture approach * Component-based software development * Design patterns for distributed systems * Distributed business objects and components * Distributed object infrastructures in resource-constrained devices * Grid applications that emphasise the importance of objects * Integrated development environments * Interoperability between object systems and complementary technologies * Middleware for distributed object computing * Migration of legacy distributed object systems to service-oriented architectures * Mobility in distributed systems * Performance analysis of distributed object computing systems * Real-time solutions for distributed objects * Scalability for distributed objects and object middleware * Security for distributed object systems * Self-organizing systems * Service-oriented architectures * Specification and enforcement of Quality of Service * Technologies for reliability and fault-tolerance * Testing and validation of distributed object systems * Ubiquitous computing and embedded systems * Web-based distributed objects IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission (hard) 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.
