Call for Papers

Messekongresszentrum Erfurt, Germany
October 9 – 12, 2000

After their great individual success, JavaDays, JIT, DJEK and STJA conferences (incl. GCSE) have now merged to form an even more attractive event: the Net.ObjectDays 2000 conference. The JavaDays was the German Java event last year in Düsseldorf.

Net.ObjectDays 2000 embraces object-oriented topics such as Java, Smalltalk, components, UML, embedded Java, databases and generative design methodologies. And, at the same time it addresses the way how the internet is radically changing best programming practices by covering XML, E-commerce, security and web-based computing. Like its predecessors, Net.ObjectDays 2000 bridges the gap between universities and industry, between research and application. The conference provides a forum for OO- and web-developers both from industry and universities and for decision makers who will learn to look behind and beyond vendor presentations. The conference offers a variety of scientific and application related talks, tutorials, an exhibition, a vendor session and it carries on to present invited talks from respected international experts and trendsetters.

The scientific program is run by four program committees, each with its own Call for Papers:

• Java and the Java Platform
• Object-Oriented Software Systems incl. Smalltalk
• Universal Database Systems and XML
• Generative and Component-based Software Engineering

Call for Papers on Object-Oriented Software Systems

Object-Oriented Software Systems deals with all aspects of object oriented software development. It aims at a fruitful exchange between academic research and industrial applications.

In order to foster a lively exchange of perspectives on the conference topics, the program committee encourages contributions from both researchers and practitioners.

Topics of interest include:

• Methods and Languages for Modelling
• New developments in and around Smalltalk (e.g. Sqeak)
• Smalltalk and Business
• Requirements Engineering
• Software Architecture
• Implementation issues
• Design Patterns
• Frameworks
• Component Based Development
• Distributed Systems
• Internet- and Web-based Systems
• Process Models and Process Management
• Reuse
• Extreme Programming
• Software Quality
• Metrics
• CASE-Tools

Submission Guidelines:

» Research Papers: (max. 10 pages DIN A4) «

» Experience Report: (from 4 to max. 10 pages A4) «

Research contributions are expected to assess the proposed approach with respect to its practical relevance, while industrial papers should highlight open problems and resulting challenges for research. Conference languages are German and English.

Accepted contributions will be published in proceedings in printed and electronic (CD-ROM) form. We intend to invite authors of excellent submissions to provide a possibly extended version of their work (in English) for a book published by a major publishing company.
