Call for Papers
The POS workshop series focuses on design, implementation and use of
persistent object systems. The seven preceding workshops have given POS t=
he
tradition of a workshop where active researchers discuss up-to-date
research issues in an atmosphere of lively debate. The collective
proceedings are generally regarded as a major source of research level
knowledge about persistent systems.
Attendance at POS is limited to 40-50 active researchers. The format of t=
he
workshop will encourage everyone to participate actively in discussions.
Keynote discussions will be used to focus the debate onto current researc=
h
issues. Pre-printed papers are available to all participants and discussi=
on
is expected to lead to improvement of the papers and a record of their
inter-relationships. The developed papers will be published (this is
currently subject to negotiation).
The main issue these workshops address is how best to support the
implementation of long-lived, data-intensive, application systems. Specif=
ic
areas of interest include:
* Large scale persistent systems
* Persistent object stores
* Methodologies for persistent programming
* Architectures for supporting persistence
* Type systems and persistence
* Evolution of persistent data
* Persistent applications and applications of persistence technolog=
y
* Concurrency, persistence and transactions
* Tools for the management of persistent systems
* Compilers for languages supporting persistence
* Persistent and database programming languages
* Persistence and interoperability
* Persistence and the WWW
Papers addressing these and closely related issues are invited. We strong=
ly
encourage papers which report experimental work and results. Please submi=
t
papers that are judged to be in presentable form though you may wish to
indicate that revised experimental results will be included in the versio=
n
for the preprints. It is expected that papers will be revised after the
workshop to reflect the discussions.
Participation in the workshop will be limited to those who have had paper=
s
accepted and those who show other evidence of contributing actively to th=
is
research field. Thus, the atmosphere should be kept intimate and positive=
,
so that the workshop stimulates thoughts and research.
Important Dates

Workshop
The workshop will start early (10am) on Sunday 30th August 1998 and will
end early on Wednesday 2nd September. Accommodation can be arranged for
Saturday 29th August.
