  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.

TOPICS OF INTEREST   Distributed and mobile agents. Design patterns for distributed object   design. Database services, in particular persistency, transaction, query.   and replication services. Integration of distributed object and Web   technologies. Integration with database systems and interfaces. Methodologies   to develop distributed object applications. Reintegration of legacy systems   in DO environments . Design of CORBA, COM- and Java-based broker applications.   Multimedia distributed objects. Multicast protocols for distributed objects.   Object caching. Reliability, fault-tolerance and recovery. Real-time ORB   middleware. Reports on Best Practice. Security. Specification and enforcement   of quality of service. Standardization of distributed objects. ...
