			CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
			      OONSCI '96
	The Fourth Annual Object-Oriented Numerics Conference
		     Mississippi State University
			  March 27-29, 1996

Scientific application software continues to grow in complexity due to
increasing functionality, evolution of codes, the use of parallelism,
and other factors.  As a result, more and more time is spent writing
and maintaining computer code, and less time is spent on the
application itself.  Object technology offers a way to break this
cycle.  Structuring applications as assemblages of software objects,
rather than as monolithic programs, may pave the way for more
efficient and complex applications by making software reusable,
distributable, and modular.

The annual OONSCI conference promotes the use of object technology for
constructing numerical applications.  OONSCI provides a forum for
computer scientists and scientific programmers, in both academia and
industry, to learn about issues related to object-oriented programming
and discuss their experiences.


SCOPE:

Examples of appropriate topics include:
     *  Experiences with object technology
     *  Use of non-programming language specific objects - for
        example, CORBA or Visual Basic controls.  
     *  Object-oriented languages and environments
     *  Object-oriented design
     *  Reusable software objects
     *  Performance issues related to object-oriented programming

Application domain specific papers should focus on the
object-oriented techniques used. Sample application domains of
interest to OONSCI are:
    *  Image processing
    *  Computer graphics
    *  PDE solvers 
    *  Engineering 
    *  CAD


SUBMISSIONS:

Submissions should be prepared for an audience with diverse
backgrounds who come from many disciplines, rather than specialists
in a particular discipline.  General knowledge of object-oriented
terminology can be assumed.  

Proposals are being solicited for:
    1) Papers
    2) Survey papers
    3) Tutorials
    4) Panel Discussions
    5) Posters


SUBMISSION DEADLINES:

January 15, 1996
* Papers
* Survey papers
* Panels
* Posters
