DOA'03:
Distributed Objects and Applications
under the joint motto

November 3, Catania, Sicily, Italy Home Page: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf |
The
Industry Program Board of the Federated Conferences Event is
specifically soliciting reports on relevant case studies, intended to cover
industry practice related to the subjects treated by these conferences,
which straddle the intersection of distributed computing, databases,
cooperative systems as their respective technologies and methodologies
become applied in the context of the internet and semantic web.
Selected
case study reports will be presented in a separate Industry Program targeted
at audiences interested in practical experience, best practices and corporate
strategy related to all aspects of distributed internet- and intranet-based
computing. These attendees will have a uniquely easy opportunity to access
presentations in the scientific program as well as the keynote talks of
all three conferences.
Submission
format and subject
All case study reports or vision papers must be electronically submitted, using the appropriate format and exclusively via the conference website: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/industry/2003/papers/submit/. We envisage these will typically be 2-3 pages long, but should anyway be limited to 6 pages, and must be relevant to the conferences' subjects, and describe past, ongoing, or planned work in sufficient detail and context to allow discussion with a wider audience (no brochure material!).
Submission
Deadline
All
submissions must be received by August 16, 2003 midnight Pacific
Time. This is a firm deadline. To be able to submit a text, a prior abstract
must
be filed on the above site(this filing will issue a
login and password for your
final submission)
Selection
process
The
Industry Program Board will inspect proposed contributions for their relevance
and general interest to the intended audience. The availability of program
slots is however limited. The resulting selection will be communicated
to submitters by email by August 1 or 2 depending on time zone.
Case
Study Publication and Presentation
Selected
case study and vision paper authors will be required to register for the
conference and guarantee presentation of their submission for wide discussion
(single Industry Program track, parallel only with the scientific program).
Presented reports will be printed and distributed at the event. Negotiations
are under way with an electronic journal publisher to publish a selection
of "best papers" (as decided by the Irvine attendees) for wider distribution.
Presenters will be responsible for production and distribution of their
own presentation material (e.g. copies of PowerPoint slides) should they
choose to do this.
