Business Object Design and Implementation

Overview:
The ASC X3H7 Object Information Management Committee and the Object Management Group Business Object Domain Task Force will jointly sponsor the Second Annual Workshop on Business Object Design and Implementation. This year's workshop will focus on distributed component design and implementation of component-based frameworks as enterprise application solutions.

Goals:
This workshop is intended to clarify the specification, design, and implementation of interoperable, plug and play, distributed business object components and their suitability for delivery of enterprise applications; and to assess the impact of the WWW and, more specifically, the Intranet on the design and implementation of business object components.

Focus:
What design patterns will allow implementation of business objects as plug and play components? How can these components be assembled into domain specific frameworks? What are appropriate architectures/mechanisms for implementing these frameworks as distributed object systems? What organizational and development process issues need to be addressed to successfully deliver these systems? Is this approach an effective means for deploying enterprise application solutions?

Requirements for Attendance:
All submissions will be posted on the WWW. Those papers generating high interest on the Web will be presented at the Workshop.
