Call for Papers 2nd Workshop on Quality of Service in Distributed Object Systems Workshop #2 at ECOOP 2001 http://www.dist-systems.bbn.com/confs/2001/QoSDOS/ Budapest Hungary: June 19, 2001 (Tuesday) The workshop addresses the state of the art and the future of Quality of Service management in distributed object systems. The objective is to provide presentations and discussions about the influence of QoS provision on the object model. An additional focus is put on component-based systems and the influence of QoS provision on the component specification and proper mapping to the underlying distribution infrastructure. Topics include, but are not restricted to - Modeling QoS: suitability of object oriented modeling techniques, influences of QoS provision on the object model, e.g. type systems - Specification: Use of containers to specify and enforce QoS properties for a component. - Structure: AOP, open implementations design patterns, or contract aware components - Implementation: Use of components for implementing ORBs - Scope of QoS-integration: generic integration, multi-category support, impact on architecture and underlying object-model - Management: integration of QoS management and network and application management - Experiences: of QoS integration in OO-Middleware platforms - Specialized QoS platforms vs. extending existing platforms - Bind-time QoS integration: Naming, Trading, and Negotiation of QoS in open distributed systems - Accounting and Pricing of QoS Submission Process: A one to two page extended abstract describing your research is required. The paper will be distributed to the other participants and published on this website. The preferred format is pdf or html. Participants should also be prepared to give a 15 minute presentation on their research. To facilitate discussion, workshop is limited to 15-20 people. Send the paper to qosdos@bbn.com by April 17, A workshop summary will be published as part of ECOOP 2001 Workshop Reader.
