- and Application Environments (TCOS) (pending)
- and USENIX
- ======================================================================
-
- The fifth International Workshop on Object-Orientation in Operating
- Systems will bring together researchers and practioners who are
- interested in object-oriented approaches to operating systems design,
- development, and application support. The purpose of the workshop is
- to provide an informal format and atmosphere in which ideas and
- current work can be presented and discussed at length. The workshop
- is designed to encourage the full participation of each attendee: both
- presenters and participants will be active contributors throughout the
- workshop.
-
- This year's workshop will be held in Seattle, Washington, just prior
- to the Second Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation
- which will be held in Seattle, Washington from October 29-November 1.
- We hope that the conjunction of the two events will foster
- cross-fertilization between related research communities.
-
- The focus of the workshop is on how to effectively use objects inside
- operating systems and how to provide system support for object
- oriented applications in a variety of application domains.
-
- Subjects of particular interest include:
-
- + Using objects to make operating systems customizable,
- extensible and adaptable
-
- + Design patterns in operating systems
-
- + Objects on WWW and their OS support
-
- + Persistent objects and their OS support
-
- + Mobile Objects and their OS support
-
- The workshop is structured to encourage the submission of explorative
- work in the form of position papers. Position papers should be a
- maximum of 2500 words and should present initial work, new ideas, or a
- strong position statement.
-
- Attendance will be by invitation only. To be invited, an attendee
- must either submit a position paper. All submissions will be
- reviewed. All accepted papers will be published in a proceedings.
- The official language for the conference will be English.
