Toward the integration of WWW and Distributed Object Technology

Call for Participation

Overview

The integration of WWW and distributed object technology is an ideal solution for deploying distributed object technology to the huge application base of WWW and for providing WWW a object-oriented design with scalability and robustness for mission-critical business applications. However, there exists little in-depth study or work toward building an architecture of integrating WWW and distributed objects for the next generation client-server computing. This workshop will seek to address topics in this area and provide insights toward a seamless integration of both technologies.

Goals and Focus

The objective of this workshop is to bringing together researchers, architects, developers, and users to jointly discuss any technical issue or experience for topics such as

• Design and implementation of the key components of the integrated software architecture.
• Gateway programs or infrastructure to enable persistent objects in a WWW/CORBA or WWW/DCE environment.
• Functionalities and commercial uses of integrated products of WWW and distributed objects.
• Technical knowledge and application experiences of deploying these two technologies.
• Performance analysis of the integrated solution and its comparisons to non-integrated solutions.
• Prospects for integrating WWW and distributed objects on existing systems.
• Potential uses and impacts of Java on future developments of WWW and distributed objects.
• Standards for incorporating distributed object services on WWW.

Requirements for Attendance

Prospective participants are invited to submit a position paper or experience report (no more than 5 pages) preferably in HTML. The deadline for submission is August 5, 1996. Notification of acceptance will be made by August 20, 1996.
