                    Call For Papers and Referees
           Minitrack on DISTRIBUTED OBJECTS PLATFORMS
                              in the                  
                    Software Technology Track
                              of the
     30th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, HICSS-30
                Maui, Hawaii - January 7-10, 1997


 
 
The Software Technology Track of HICSS-30 consists of a series of minitracks, that cover a broad selection of timely and important topics in the area of distributed systems.

The minitrack on  DISTRIBUTED OBJECTS PLATFORMS aims at gathering users, designers and implementors of object-based distributed systems to discuss practical issues in using this technology, with the hope of determining 
where object-based distributed systems have been successfully deployed, 
as well as where distributed object-based systems currently fall short of solving problems in practice.

The minitrack will particularly welcome papers describing experiences
and "real world" applications of object-based distributed systems.

The major topics foreseen are:
	
	- Comparison of object-based distributed systems
	- Compatibility issues and emerging object standards: OLE,
                  CORBA, OODCE, etc.
	- Distributed objects over the Web (Java, ...)
	- Distributed object services: security, trading,
                                       transactions, replication, etc.
	- Performance evaluation of object-based distributed systems
	- Experiences in using object-based distributed systems
	- High level interfaces for object-based distributed programming
	- Framework development based on distributed object systems
	- Combining distributed objects with legacy applications
