In order toobtain effective and efficient communication, artistic, social and technicalissues have to be tackled in a holistic and integrated manner.Unfortunately, communication techniques, concepts and solutions which havebeen developed so far treat these issues separately, so that there arises aneed for communication researchers and practitioners in different fields(engineering, science and arts) to meet, share their experience and exploreall possibilities of developing integrated and advanced solutions whichincorporate ideas from such disciplines as communication arts, art design,linguistics, Web technologies, telecommunications, computer science andartificial intelligence. Call for Papers---------------The 2004 IFIP conference on Intelligence in Communication Systems(INTELLCOMM '04) is jointly sponsored by IFIP WG 6.7: Smart Networks and WG6.4: Internet Applications Engineering. The conference will be held atShinawatra University, Bangkok, Thailand during 23-27 November 2004. Itsmain objective is to provide an international forum which brings academia,researchers, practitioners and service providers together. The discussionareas will cover the latest research topics and advanced technologicalsolutions in the area of Intelligent Communication Systems, ranging fromArchitectures for Adaptable Networks and Services and Semantic Web and WebService Technologies to Applications, Information Management, and Securityand Intelligent Service Application Interface and Intelligent HumanInteraction.

Fwd: CFP: DOA 2004

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP: DOA 2004 Date: Saturday 20 December 2003 00:21 From: Laura Bright <bright(a)cse.ogi.edu> To: www-rdf-interest(a)w3.org C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= 6th International Symposium on DISTRIBUTED OBJECTS AND APPLICATIONS (DOA) Cyprus, Oct 25-29, 2004 http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/ Acceptance rate of DOA in 2002/2003 is 1/4. Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag Some of the world's most important and critical software systems are based on distributed objects. Distributed object software runs critical systems in industries such as telecommunications, manufacturing, finance, insurance, and government. When you make a phone call or perform a financial transaction, chances are good that distributed objects are operating in the background to make it happen. If you are a researcher or practitioner who is building innovative distributed object systems or applications, you should consider contributing a practice report or a research paper to this event to present, discuss and obtain feedback for your ideas among other practitioners and researchers active in the same area. Though existing distributed object systems such as COM, CORBA, and EJB have been generally successful, we're still evolving them, and applying lessons learned from them into new areas such as Web Services, CORBA Components, J2EE, and .NET. Regardless of the particular APIs of each distributed objects approach, they all aim to provide 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, message-oriented middleware, and peer-to-peer systems. Significant research and development continues to be required in all of these areas in order to continue to advance the state of the art and broaden the scope of the applicability of distributed object systems. Two Dimensions: Research & Practice Research in distributed objects, components, systems, 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 DOA projects drives this same research by exposing new ideas and posing new types of problems to be solved. With DOA 2004 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 (theory, fundamentals, principles of DOA) and practice (applications, experience, pragmatics of DOA). Contributions attempting to cross over the gap between these two dimensions are particularly welcomed. 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 application (in the case of "case studies" papers). DOA 2004 is a joint event with two other conferences organized within the global theme "On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems and Ubiquitous Computing 2004". This federated event co-locates three related and complementary successful conferences in the areas of Intelligent Networked Information Systems, covering key issues in Data and Web Semantics (ODBASE'04), Distributed Objects, Infrastructure and Enabling Technology and Internet Computing (DOA'04), and Workflow, Cooperation, and Interoperability (CoopIS'04), 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: * Applications of distributed-object technology * Applying Model Driven Architecture (MDA) * Component-based software development * Enterprise-based component architectures * Design of CORBA, .NET, and Java-based broker applications * Design patterns for object-based components and applications * Distributed business objects and components * Distributed object databases * Distributed object deployment, configuration, and metadata * Integration of distributed objects and agent technology * Integration of distributed objects and peer-to-peer technology * Integration of multimedia and streaming technology with distributed objects * Interoperability between object systems and complementary technology * Management for distributed-object systems * Mobility for distributed objects and object middleware * Object-based Web services * Pervasive distributed objects * Real-time solutions for distributed objects * Scalability for distributed objects and object middleware * Security for distributed-object systems * Software engineering for distributed object-based applications * Solutions for (massive) caching and replication * Specification and enforcement of Quality of Service (QoS) * Technologies for reliability and fault-tolerant distributed objects * Web-based distributed objects IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission Deadline: May 30, 2004 Paper Submission Deadline: June 15, 2004 Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2004 Final Version Due: August 20, 2004 Conference: October 25-29, 2004 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Submissions should be clearly labeled "Research", "Practice" or "PC discretion". 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. Research submissions must not exceed 8,000 words. Practice reports must not exceed 5,000 words. Submissions can either be in Postscript, MS Word, or Pdf format and should be done through the following URL: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/doa/2004/papers/submit/ 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 commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a paper from the proceedings.
