OTM 2003 Federated Conference - Call For Papers
- DEADLINE: June 15, 2003 **
OTM 2003 Federated Conference:
"On the Move -OTM- to Meaningful Internet Systems and Ubiquitous Computing" 2003 consisting of:
- International Symposium on Distributed Objects and Applications (DOA'03)
- International Conference on Ontologies, Databases and Applications of Semantics (ODBASE'03)
- International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS'03)
Catania, Sicily, Italy November 3 - 7, 2003 http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/
BRIEF OVERVIEW: The current and future software needs are towards the development of large and complex Intelligent Networked Information Systems, covering a wide range of issues (such as Data and Web Semantics, Distributed Objects, Web Services, Databases, Workflow, Cooperation, Interoperability, Mobility) as required for the deployment of Internet- and Intranet-based systems in organizations and for e-business. This federated event is unique at providing an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to understand the recent developments in ubiquitous computing. It co-locates three related and complementary successful conferences (DOA = infrastructure, ODBASE = meaning of data, CoopIS = application in organizations). Each of these conferences covers different aspects: theory (i.e. underlying theoretical solutions), conceptual (e.g. technical and conceptual solutions) and applications (e.g. case studies and industrial solutions).
SCOPE. All three conferences are about the distributed and ubiquity aspects of modern computing systems, and the resulting application-pull created by the Internet and the so-called "Semantic Web". For DOA'03, the primary emphasis is on the distributed object infrastructure; for ODBASE'03, it is on the knowledge bases and methods required for enabling semantical use; and for CoopIS'03, it is on the interaction of such technology and methods within an organization or network of organizations. As they must, these subject areas overlap and, in fact, the organizers specifically welcome submissions in any of the areas that also emphasize the envisaged impact on or from relevant issues in the others. To stimulate this "cross-pollination", a common program of representative keynote speakers, a joint tutorial program, and a common Industry Track that runs parallel with the entire event are being assembled.
SUBMISSION. Instructions are available at: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/submit.html
AREAS OF INTEREST. Broad areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
DOA'03 (Enabling technologies, Middleware, Distributed Objects, Web Services) ODBASE'03 (Ontologies, XML Databases, Web Semantics, Semantic Tools) CoopIS'03 (interoperation, Workflows, Agents. Cooperative IS)
