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 
- Universal Database Systems and XML 
- Object-Oriented Software Systems incl. Smalltalk 
- 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.
