III Workshop on Mobility and Replication
Brussels - Belgium, July 20, 1998
http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/wmr98/
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Papers
The third ECOOP workshop on mobility and replication is focusing on
object
replication and consistency issues. The workshop will try to build
bridges
between the database community and the mobile computing community. Many
researchers in both communities are working on object replication and
consistency issues but the goals are often different. One side is mostly
focusing on implementing transactions, recovery, and the ACID
properties,
whereas the other side is mostly focusing on implementing availability,
caching, and user mobility.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Application needs for replication
* ACID properties in replicated systems
* Distributed transactions
* Replication for load distribution
* Replication for availability
* Replication for fault tolerance
* Autonomous creation of replicas
* Disconnected operation
* Replicated active objects
* Update protocols
* Release consistency and other consistency models
The main goal of the workshop is to get a better understanding of the
replication and consistency issues, including the application needs.
Interested participants should submit a position paper of at most 4
pages.
Papers must be in HTML or plain text and submitted by Email to
···············@cbs.dk. All accepted papers will be made available at
the
workshop home page.
Submission Details
Authors submitting position papers discussing new and untraditional
ideas
that can fill a part of the gap between the database community and the
mobile computing community, and with a good force for starting
discussions,
may be selected for presentation of their work.
Submissions are due to: June 1, 1998
Notification of acceptance: June 15, 1998
The result of the evaluation may be: Accepted for presentation, Accepted
for
participation, Rejected
All workshop organizers will review all position papers. Authors of the
best
papers will be given time for presentations. We will use a couple of
hours
for group discussions, putting the participants in 3-4 discussion
groups. To
direct the group discussions we will hand out for each group a list of
tasks.
No submission received after the submission due date will be accepted
for
presentation.
Number of participants is limited to 20.
Participants selected for presentations will be encouraged to bring
copies
of full papers elaborating on their work. We expect to be able to
publish
the best papers in the ECOOP'98 Workshop Reader or in a related
publication.
