Scope:
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....
OnTheMove (OTM) co-locates three successful related and complementary conferences (DOA = infrastructure, ODBASE = meaning of data, CoopIS = application in organizations). Each of these conferences covers several research aspects, viz. theory (e.g. underlying formalisms), conceptual (e.g. technical and conceptual solutions) and applications (e.g. case studies and industrial solutions).
All three conferences share the scientific study of the distributed and ubiquitous aspects of modern computing systems, and the resulting application-pull created by the WWW. For DOA'04, the primary emphasis is on the distributed object infrastructure; for ODBASE'04, it is on the knowledge bases and methods required for enabling semantical use; and for CoopIS'04, 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 number of workshops covering related areas that runs parallel with the entire event are being assembled.
