The OOPSLA Conference Committee and ACM SIGPLAN will sponsor a set of collocated workshops on "Applied Object Technology", June 16-17, 1997 in Port Jefferson, Long Island, New York. The purpose of this new event is to bring together people who are working on the application of object technology to the critical problems in major industrial domains such as finance, telecommunications, health, manufacturing, electronic commerce, and government. (Three to four domains will be selected for the final workshops).
The organizers will be chosen on the basis of experience and knowledge in the application of object technology to specific domains. A set of organizers will be selected in each area to share the work and provide a spectrum of viewpoints. The workshops in each domain will run two days. The suggested agenda is to focus on current activities during the first day's session followed by future directions on the second day. Rooms will also be available for evening bird-of-a-feather sessions on generic areas of applied object technology (for example, frameworks, business objects, and project management).
Proposals from organizers should include the following: (1) the application domain (for example, telecommunications), (2) a description of the organizer's work and background in the domain, (3) the organizer's perspective on the state of object technology applications in the domain, (4) a discussion of the domain-specific future requirements and directions that should be addressed during the workshop.
Proposed workshops must have an open call for participation, but participation in a workshop may be based on submission of a technical position paper. Proposals, questions, and early requests to participate in a workshop should be sent to the Mid-Year Workshops Chair. Further details can be found at the Mid-Year Workshops web page.
Proposals must be received by Mid-Year Workshops Chair: January 24, 1997. Notification of acceptance or rejection of proposals: February 3, 1997.
