Objects, Databases, and the WWW
A special issue of
Theory and Practice of Object Systems (TAPOS)
As the Internet and the WWW become preferred media for
broadcasting, content dissemination, data access, personal
communications, distance education, electronic commerce, and
other as yet unforeseen applications, it becomes urgent to explore
the interactions between these new media and other well established

This special issue will focus on the interaction among object
technology, database systems, and the WWW. The following is a
non-exhaustive list of topics of interest:
-Object technology on the web
-Distributed objects
-Component frameworks and the web
-Accessing databases through the web
-Architectures and protocols
-Data warehousing
-User interfaces
-Transaction processing
-Standards
-Security
-The web as a database:
-Querying network structure
-Querying unstructured and semi-structured objects
-Web information retrieval
-Web data mining
-Developing web-centered applications:
-Methodologies
-Programming languages
-Development environments
-Tools
-Applications
-Electronic commerce
-Multimedia
-Digital Libraries
-Information Systems
-Data Visualization
We invite unpublished manuscripts presenting original research for
consideration for this issue, which is tentatively planned to appear
