Are you building applications using distributed objects (DO)? Are you doing research in fundamental technology, methodology or new tools for DO? Are you using some of the existing distributed object systems?

Consider contributing a practice report or a research paper to this innovative event, and to present, discuss and obtain feedback for your ideas among other practitioners and researchers active in the same area.

During DOA'2000 Symposium we want attendees to be able to evaluate existing ORB middleware products; to analyze, and propose solutions to major limitations of existing products; and to indicate promising future research directions for distributed objects. We are particularly interested in the evaluation of existing distributed object systems and how they are used to design and to implement large scale industrial distributed applications. We are seeking theoretical as well as practical papers addressing innovative issues related to distributed objects.
