Dear Friend:

The 1997 Federal Object Oriented Symposium (Fed OOTS 97) promises to be
most comprehensive educational program to date on Object/Internet
strategies for distributed computing in the Public Sector. The OOTS
faculty (see speaker list below), drawn from the top ranks of government
and industry, will be presenting interlocking segments for
three domain-specific tracks:=20

* Defense Objects: The New Client/Server for the DII COE
* Intel/Geospatial: Moving Mountains of Data in a Secure World
* Business Objects: Bring the Best of Commercial Practices to the
Government Domain

Plus, a special two day International CIO Roundtable will enable select
participants to share experiences and strategies on key IS issues
confronting the public sector. This session will be restricted to sr.
IRM executives from government and industry.

Each track will be presented in four half-day "steps" addressing each of
the critical stages of designing, developing and deploying distributed
enterprise systems:

1) Enterprise Architecture Modeling and Design;
2) Enabling Technologies for the new Internet based Client/Server;
3) Distributed Computing Infrastructure; and
4) Data Management, Access and Security

Because of limited space (only 900 reserved seats), we would like to
provide our ardent supporters and sponsors a special opportunity for
advanced registration. Registration fees are as follows:

Full Program ( 2 Days) $795.00 Government $695.00
Early Registration (by 11/15) $695.00 Government $595.00
* Special Advance Registration $595.00 Government $495.00
**register by 10/01/97**

* Lunches and conference materials are include with all
pre-registrations!
* Team registrations and registrants from sponsor organizations will
receive further discounts up to 50% off the Full Program rate!
