        OOIS2002

 8th International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems

Conference Theme

The quantity of information available on the Web is rocketing. However,
this information is not easilyaccessible. Indeed, query and retrieval as well as Web information
 management become extremely difficult. Also, data on the Web is placed independently by different
organization; thus, documents containing related data may appear at different Web-sites and in
different format. New object-oriented technologies have been conceived and implemented over the past decade in order to manage complexity inherent in the new information systems development. Research has
spanned from information systems modeling (UML and OPEN) to databases (ODMG), from programming languages (Java) to middleware technology (CORBA). However, developing the new
information systems whose platforms are based on Internet brings developers considerations of new issues such as providing flexible mechanisms to provide integrated views over multiple heterogeneous information sources. The main theme of OOIS'2002 is
"Object-Technology and Integration  of heterogeneous Information
Systems" and the conference program will address both technologies and methodologies for building them.
