THEME
Current information systems are composed of various kinds of objects
like systems which are interconnected by communication networks. The
communication networks have supported standard infrastructure to realize
advanced multimedia applications like virtual society. Especially, the
Internet has given drastic influence and impact to not only the
information technologies but also social environments. The new
computation paradigm, e.g. nomadic computing is proposed based on the
mobile communication. The standard object-based framework of the
distributed applications is developed by CORBA and others in order to
realize the interoperability of the applications by taking advantage of
the communication and platform infrastructure. It is now critical and
significant to discuss the network systems to realize the interoperable,
cooperative information systems.
The main objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers
from both network systems and information systems with the aim of
encouraging the exchange of ideas and experience between these two
communities. It will represent an international forum to give an
overview of the most recent trendng.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Communication Networks
* Internet Applications
* Web-based database systems
* Distributed Cooperating Information Systems
* Groupware
* Distributed and Parallel Algorithms
* Multimedia Computing Systems
* Mobile Computing Systems
* Distributed Object-Oriented Systems
* Interoperable Systems
* Electronic Commerce
* Security and Privacy
IMPORTANT DATES
* Submission deadline: 20 February 1998
* Notification of acceptance: 30 April 1998
* Camera-ready copies: 1 July 1998
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Authors are invited to submit research contributions representing
original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be
carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical
soundness, and clarity of exposition. All papers will be refereed
by at least two members of the program committee. Accepted papers
will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press as proceedings of
the DEXA'98 workshops. All submitted papers MUST be formatted according
to the author guidelines provided by IEEE Computer Society Press and
MUST NOT be longer than FIVE pages. The author guidelines can be found
at http://www.ifs.univie.ac.at/~ww/format.html. If you use LaTeX, at
http://www.ifs.univie.ac.at/~ww/nlis98.tex is an example document and
at http://www.ifs.univie.ac.at/~ww/nlis98.ps the corresponding output.
Electronic Submission
Please submit your paper electronically to our ftp site. Please prepare
your paper as plain ASCII PostScript only, with NO encoding, condensing, or
encapsulation. Please use TrueType 1 fonts wherever possible. Do not use
bitmapped fonts such as Computer Modern if you can avoid it. Guidelines
for generating and submitting PostScript files are available at
http://computer.org/author/psguide.htm.
File Name
Please save your file using your name, i.e. John Smith's file would be
smith.ps. If you are submitting two or more files, please number them:
smith1.ps, smith2.ps, etc.
Transferring to FTP Site
When transferring files to the FTP site, if you have a choice between
ASCII and binary modes, use binary. Although ASCII mode works well most
of the time, binary mode incurs fewer problems.
