Some of the world's most important and critical software systems are based on distributed objects. Distributed object software runs critical systems in industries such as telecommunications, manufacturing, finance, insurance, and government. When you make a phone call or perform a financial transaction, chances are good that distributed objects are operating in the background to make it happen. If you are a researcher or practitioner who is building innovative distributed object systems or applications, you should consider contributing a practice report or a research paper to this event to present, discuss and obtain feedback for your ideas among other practitioners and researchers active in the same area. Though existing distributed object systems such as COM, CORBA, and EJB have been generally successful, we're still evolving them, and applying lessons learned from them into new areas such as Web Services, CORBA Components, J2EE, and .NET. Regardless of the particular APIs of each distributed objects approach, they all aim to provide openness, reliability, scalability, distribution transparency, security, ease of development, and support for heterogeneity between applications and platforms. Also, of utmost importance today is the ability to integrate distributed object systems with other technologies such as the web, multimedia systems, databases, message-oriented middleware, and peer-to-peer systems. Significant research and development continues to be required in all of these areas in order to continue to advance the state of the art and broaden the scope of the applicability of distributed object systems. Two Dimensions: Research & Practice Research in distributed objects, components, systems, and applications establishes new principles that open the way to solutions that can meet the requirements of tomorrow's applications. Conversely, practical experience in real-world DOA projects drives this same research by exposing new ideas and posing new types of problems to be solved. With DOA 2004 we explicitly intend to provide a forum to help this mutual interaction occur, and to trigger and foster it. Submissions are therefore welcomed along both these dimensions: research (theory, fundamentals, principles of DOA) and practice (applications, experience, pragmatics of DOA). Contributions attempting to cross over the gap between these two dimensions are particularly welcomed. As we are fully aware of the differences in environment for research and development that exist in academia and industry, submissions from each will be treated accordingly and judged by a peer review not only for scientific rigor (in the case of "academic research" papers), but also for originality and generality of application (in the case of "case studies" papers). DOA 2004 is a joint event with two other conferences organized within the global theme "On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems and= Ubiquitous Computing 2004". This federated event co-locates three related and complementary successful conferences in the areas of Intelligent Networked Information Systems, covering key issues in Data and Web Semantics (ODBASE'04), Distributed Objects, Infrastructure and Enabling Technology and Internet Computing (DOA'04), and Workflow, Cooperation, and Interoperability (CoopIS'04), as required for the deployment of Internet- and Intranet-based systems in organizations and for e-business. More details about this federated event can be found at http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf. TOPICS OF INTEREST The topics of this symposium include, but are not limited to:
All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Submissions should be clearly labeled "Research", "Practice" or "PC discretion". All papers will be refereed by at least three members of the program committee, and at least two will be experts from industry in the case of practice reports. All submissions must be in English. Research submissions must not exceed 8,000 words. Practice reports must not exceed 5,000 words. Submissions can either be in Postscript, MS Word, or Pdf format and should be done through the following URL: The final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Author instructions can be found at: Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a paper from the proceedings.
