CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Third International Workshop on
Services in Distributed and Networked Environments (SDNE '96)
3 - 4 June 1996
Hotel Royal, Estrada Da Vitoria
Macau
=============================================================================
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
Technical Committee on Distributed Processing (TCDP)
In cooperation with the Faculty of Science and Technology
University of Macau
The Third International Workshop on Services in Distributed and Networked
Environments (SDNE'96) will be held in Macau on June 3-4 1996, immediately
after the Sixteenth International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems
(ICDCS-16).
SDNE workshops augment the ICDCS program by focusing on global, network-based
services and addressing the emerging area of service engineering, building on
international standards such as ANSA, ODP, DCE, CORBA, and TINA.
The SDNE'96 program includes refereed papers on all aspects of services for
distributed systems and provides ample time for discussion in an informal and
constructive atmosphere.
Macau is a Portuguese territory located in the south of China on the West bank
of the Pearl River estuary, 64 kilometers from Hong Kong. Travel between Hong
Kong and Macau takes about 1 hour by JetFoil.
Technical Overview
------------------
Distributed and networked computer environments deployed in academia, business
and industry span the globe yet also provide services for individual mobile
users and their digital assistants. Usability and usefulness of networked
environments of this scale depend upon the kind and quality of software
services provided to users, availability of information on existing
resources, ease of developing new applications, reliability, and security.
The workshop program consists of original papers on software services for
networked environments and addresses the architecture, functionality,
performance, and mangement of services that are mobile, wide-area, or
object-based. The workshop is a forum for the free flow of ideas and includes
ample time for structured and informal discussions.
Location and Travel Information
-------------------------------
A unique blending of Chinese and Portuguese cultures makes Macau a place where
visitors will find themselves engrossed and fascinated. A Portuguese territory
for the past 400 years, memories can be recalled from the pastel-coloured
palaces, baroque churches and exotic temples, menacing fortresses with silent
cannons and the narrow cobblestone streets.
Macau is a perfect mixture of East and West, traditional and modern, combining
aspects of a living museum with round-the-clock casinos, busy nightlife and
exciting horse and greyhound races all contributing to Macau's diversity.
Eating in Macau is a major attraction, with a variety of Macanese, Portuguese,
Chinese, African, and South-East Asian cuisines.
Macau can be easily reached from Hong Kong by JetFoil in just one hour.
Work-In-Progress Presentations
------------------------------
In keeping with the workshop's informal atmosphere a number of slots have been
made available for work-in-progress presentations. If you would like to
reserve a slot please send a one or two paragraph abstract to:
Peter Honeyman <ho...@citi.umich.edu>
