Net.ObjectDays 2005 – Call for Papers

Erfurt, Germany, September 19-22
www.netobjectdays.org


Net.ObjectDays is one of the major international conferences on 
object-oriented and internet-based technologies, concepts, and 
applications. Based on its strong focus on research and innovation, 
Net.ObjectDays aims at bringing together leading researchers from 
academia and system architects, developers, and customers from industry 
and administration.

Recent developments in Information and Communication Technologies have 
substantially changed the nature of global relationships, sources of 
competitive advantage, and opportunities for economic and social 
development. These changes pose increasingly complex challenges to the 
computer science community in general and the software community in 
particular. Self-adaptation, self-management, and self-healing are key 
features in a new software landscape that aims on providing flexible 
solutions to solve one-of-a-kind problems in an adequate, reliable and 
cost-effective way.

Given this background, the focus of Net.ObjectDays 2005 is on methods, 
models, languages, and tools for efficient, reliable and adaptive 
composition of software artefacts to provide a scientific and 
technological foundation allowing for new differentiators such as 
on-demand computing, situation-aware services, attentive user interfaces.


The topics of the conference include but are not limited to:

  - Object-oriented concepts, languages and technologies
  - Aspect-oriented software development
  - Adaptive and reflective languages and systems
  - Domain-oriented programming
  - Generative programming

  - Novel Web applications and interface
  - Service specification and composition
  - Process modelling and execution
  - Grid services infrastructure
  - Autonomic and on-demand computing
  - Object-oriented and peer-to-peer middleware

  - Architecture-centric development
  - Dynamic software evolution
  - Software maintenance and reengineering
  - Component-based approaches
  - Domain engineering and software product lines

We invite original contributions from the above-mentioned areas that 
neither have been published previously nor are under review by other 
refereed events or publications. Proceedings of Net.ObjectDays 2005 will 
be published as Springer LNCS Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

Papers will be submitted electronically at

  www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/node2005

in PDF format. Papers must not exceed 16 pages and should be formatted 
according to the author instructions of Springer-Verlag to be found at

  www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

All submissions have to be in English. The title page must contain a 
short abstract and a classification of the topics covered, preferably 
based on the ones listed above. The paper must clearly state the problem 
being addressed, the goal of the work, the results achieved, and the 
relation to previous work.
