Forwarded message from [atkinson@informatik.uni-kl.de] sent originally on Fri, 21 Jan 2000 15:18:47 +0100 (MET): : CALL FOR PAPERS : EDOC 2000 : 4th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference : September 25-28, 2000, Makuhari, Japan : http://edoc.ae.keio.ac.jp/edoc/ : : Co-sponsored by Information Processing Society of Japan, : IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society : in cooperation with ACM Sigplan and OMG (applying) : : [Scope] : As distributed object and component technologies continue to mature, : organizations are adopting them as core technologies to meet their : enterprise computing needs. However there is increasing "globalization" : with mergers and alliances between organizations resulting in need for : integration and inter-operation of their enterprise computing systems. : There are many open issues still to be solved in order to provide tools : and techniques to support the specification, modeling, implementation, : management and evolution of distributed objects systems capable of : scaling for global enterprises. : : The goal of EDOC 2000 is to provide a forum for leading researchers and : industry experts to discuss problems, solutions, and experiences in meeting : practical enterprise computing needs. EDOC 2000 will include industrial : experience sessions for which practitioners are encouraged to submit : experience reports stating the problems addressed, methods used, results : and lessons learned. : : EDOC 2000 addresses generic issues relating to the context in which : enterprise : systems are built and deployed as well as the distributed object and : component technologies needed to deploy systems for specific applications : domains. EDOC 2000 encourages submissions on applications and industry : experience in such domains as electronic commerce, enterprise application : integration, supply-chain management, and web-based distributed applications. : : [Topics] : The program committee seeks high quality papers describing research results, : experience reports and case studies related to all aspects of distributed : object and component based enterprise computing. Major topics include, : but are not limited to: : - Enterprise architectures that support distributed objects and components : - Enterprise modeling techniques, especially those that use UML, XML and : RM-ODP : - Modeling, development, and deployment of business objects and components : - Enterprise issues for supporting electronic commerce, inter-enterprise : cooperation and integration, supply chain and workflow management : - Meta-modeling and use of information repositories for enterprise systems : - Enterprise issues relating to use of technologies such as CORBA, COM+, : Enterprise JavaBeans, BizTalk, e-speak and Jini : - Enterprise quality of service issues including performance, reliability, : fault-tolerance, and security : - Enterprise issues in operation, maintenance and evolution of : OO/Component/Web based distributed enterprise systems : : Papers must describe original work and must not have been accepted or : submitted : for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers will be evaluated for originality, : significance, insight, clarity, and relevance to the use of distributed object : and component technologies in enterprise computing systems. : : [Important dates] : Papers submission due - May 6th, 2000 : Notification of acceptance - June 20, 2000 : Camera ready papers due - July 20, 2000 : Conference date - September 25-28, 2000 : : [Location] : Makuhari, Japan (Famous for its IT industrial park, in the middle of the New : Tokyo International Airport and central Tokyo) : : [Author Information] : The papers should not exceed 10 pages in the IEEE format available from the : EDOC 2000 web site. Please also consult the IEEE author guidelines for : details. : Submissions should be made electronically in PDF, PostScript,or MS Word in : accordance with the instructions on the EDOC 2000 web site. Papers will be : refereed by an international committee of experts. Presented papers will be : published from the IEEE. : : [Further Information] : For further information, please consult the EDOC 2000 web site or send e-mail : to: edoc-info@soft.flab.fujitsu.co.jp. : : General Chair: Sanya Uehara (Fujitsu Laboratories, Japan) : Program Chairs: Mikio Aoyama (Niigata Institute of Technology, Japan) : Guijun Wang (The Boeing Company, USA) : Tutorial Chair: Satoshi Matsuoka (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan) : Operation Chair: Tetsuo Tamai (University of Tokyo, Japan) : Operation Vice Chairs: Nigel Baker (University of West England, UK) : Martin Schader (University of Mannheim) : Steering Committee: Cris Kobryn (EDS, USA) : Zoran Milosevic (DSTC, Australia) : Morris Sloman (Imperial College, UK) : Colin Atkinson (University of Kaiserslautern and Fraunhofer IESE, Germany) : Operation Committee: Tomoji Kishi (NEC, Japan) : Rieko Yamamoto (Fujitsu Laboratories, Japan) : Program Committee: Jan Oeyvind Aagedal (SINTEF Telecom and Informatics, : Norway) : Jean Bezivin (University of Nantes, France) : Eng Chew (Cable & Wireless Optus, Australia) : Derek Coleman (Hewlett-Packard, USA) : Fred Cummins (EDS, USA) : Pamela Drew (Boeing, USA) : Kurt Geihs (University of Frankfurt, Germany) : Takeo Hamada (Fujitsu Labs, USA) : Brian Henderson-Sellers (University of Technology, Sydney, Australia) : Yigal Hoffner (IBM Lab, Switzerland) : Sridhar Iyengar (Unisys, USA) : Dusan Jokanovic (University of Applied Sciences, Yugoslavia) : Stuart Kent (University of Kent, UK) : Peter Linington (University of Kent, UK) : Claudia Linnhoff-Popien (Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, Germany) : Subrata Mazumdar (Xbind, USA) : Michael Merz (Hamburg University, Germany) : Naftaly Minsky (Rutgers University, USA) : Jishnu Mukerji (Hewlett-Packard, USA) : Thomas Preuss (PricewaterhouseCoopers, Germany) : Kerry Raymond (DSTC, Australia) : Richard Mark Soley (OMG, USA) : Jon Siegel (OMG, USA) : Clemens Szyperski (Microsoft Research, USA) : Sandy Tyndale-Biscoe (Open-IT Ltd, UK) : Kurt Wallnau (Software Engineering Institute, USA) : Andrew Watson (OMG, USA) : Karl-Heinz Weiss (Oracle Consulting, Germany) : Edward White (MCI, USA) : Alan Cameron Wills (TriReme International, UK) : Bryan Wood (Open-IT, UK) : Christian Zeidler (ABB Corporate Research, Germany) : Shuichiro Yamamoto (NTT, Japan) : Kazuki Yoshida (Toshiba, Japan) : Masaichiro Yoshioka (Hitachi, Japan) : *************************************************************************
