The 2003 International Multiconference in Computer Science & Engineering
========================================================================
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
June 23 - 26, 2003
TECHNICAL SESSION
"Using the J2EE Platform for Efficient Component-Oriented
Development of Enterprise Systems (JEFF-CODES)"
- LAST CALL FOR PAPERS -
The International Multiconference in Computer Science & Computer
Engineering is a major annual international research event. The last
Multiconference attracted over 1,550 Computer Science and Engineering
researchers from 72 countries. It is anticipated that The 2003 Int'l
Multiconference will attract about 2000 participants. The 2003 event is
composed of 14 (planned) major conferences - attendees will have full
access to all 14 conferences' sessions & tracks.
"Using the J2EE Platform for Efficient Component-Oriented Development
of Enterprise Systems (JEFF-CODES)" will be a technical session of
PDPTA'03 (The 2003 Int'l Conference on Parallel & Distributed
Processing Techniques and Applications) and/or SERP'03 (The 2003 Int'l
Conference on Software Engineering Research and Practice), which are
two of the 14 conferences that will be held simultaneously in the
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, on June 23-26, 2003.
You are invited to submit a draft paper of about 5 pages (see below for
submission information; further details can be found at the session web
site http://www.wifo.uni-mannheim.de/JEFF-CODES-2003/).
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
SCOPE OF JEFF-CODES:
====================
The development of distributed, component-based enterprise application
systems is a very complex task. These systems have to fulfill highly
volatile requirements, and they have to adapt quickly to the ever-
changing demands of markets, users, and evolving technology. Emerging
middleware platforms and technologies such as the Java 2 Platform,
Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technologyprovide standardized APIs and
component models that allow a clear separation of concerns with respect
to the technical and the business requirements of such systems. Thus,
they are able to facilitate the implementation of scalable, portable,
distributed business applications significantly and allow the smooth
integration of legacy systems and existing components from different
suppliers. The J2EE platform has been very successful in this context
recently and is quickly being adopted by the middleware community on a
broad scale.
However, in distributed, scalable, multi-user enterprise application
environments such as, for example, e-business software systems,
performance and efficiency are vital success factors for user
acceptance. These determinants can be optimized on at least two levels:
the application development level on the one hand, and the technical
specification and application server implementation level on the other
hand. The Java programming language is traditionally known for its
shortcomings with respect to performance, which is also true for the
J2EE platform leveraging Java to the enterprise context. The focus of
this technical session will be to produce research results for the
improvement of efficiency and performance of J2EE-based software
applications on these two levels of abstraction.
Therefore, the technical session will concentrate on questions of how
to create applications that take maximum advantage of existing J2EE
technologies such as Enterprise JavaBeans, Servlets, Java Server Pages
etc. on the one hand, and, on the other hand, will work out potential
enhancements, refinements, and improvements of the existing J2EE
specification and the implementation of J2EE-compliant application
servers.
Optimizing efficiency and performance of applications based on the
current J2EE specification requires a good understanding of both the
available APIs and sound architectural principles of high-quality
multi-tier application design, respectively. Providing design patterns,
strategies, best practices, and recommendations for the design and
implementation of performance-optimized applications could be an
adequate means to achieve this goal.
Optimizing efficiency and performance on the technical level requires
an in-depth analysis of possibilities for refining and/or extending
the current J2EE specification and the examination of approaches to
application server tuning and speed-up.
The goal of this technical session is to bring together researchers,
engineers, and practitioners to discuss the technical and technology-
related aspects of optimizing the efficiency and per-formance of J2EE-
based applications. It serves to provide a forum for the exchange of
research ideas and results in that area.
The special topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Solutions to performance problems of J2EE-based applications
- Recommendations, strategies, and best practices for designing
efficient J2EE-based web-enabled enterprise applications
- Patterns of performance-optimized software architectures based
on J2EE
- Design patterns, strategies, and best practices for designing
efficient reusable enter-prise components
- Iterative and evolutionary development processes focused on
efficiency and performance
- Component composition and interaction strategies for
application acceleration
- J2EE-based frameworks and application server add-ons for
performance optimization (e.g., load-balancing services, re-
routers etc.)
- Efficient use of web services with J2EE
- Efficient integration of legacy systems with J2EE
- Enhancing and refining the J2EE architecture
- Discussion of performance-critical elements of the J2EE
specification (e.g., remote vs. local interfaces, CMP vs. BMP
etc.)
- Efficient application server implementation and tuning (e.g.,
bean pooling, load balancing etc.)
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
====================
You are invited to submit a PDF-version of a draft paper (about 5
pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to the session organizer
A. Korthaus (korthaus(a)wifo3.uni-mannheim.de) by the due date. The
length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7
(IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published or
currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the
draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation,
postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, and fax number for
each author. The first page should also include the name of the author
who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5
keywords.
EVALUATION PROCESS
==================
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and
soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the
topical area. The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one person.
PUBLICATION
===========
The conference proceedings will be published by CSREA Press (ISBN) in
hardcopy. It will be a multivolume set. The proceedings will be
available at the conference. Some accepted papers will also be
considered for journal publication (soon after the conference). In
addition to the hardcopy, it is also planned to publish the papers on
a CD. All conference proceedings published by CSREA Press are
considered for inclusion in major database indexes that are designed
to provide easy access to the current literature of the sciences
(database examples: ISI Thomson Scientific, IEE INSPEC, ...).
