DAIS'2001
DAIS'2001 denotes the third international IFIP working conference on distributed applications and interoperability. DAIS'2001 will provide a forum for researchers, application and platform service vendors and users to review, discuss and learn about new approaches, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed computing. DAIS'2001 will focus on integration and interoperability of different platforms, services and applications, as well as on scalability and management issues and the growing importance of mobile and wireless protocols and applications.
DAIS'2001 includes invited speakers, full technical paper sessions, and work-in-progress presentations. Also tutorials are encouraged.
Themes
The working conference seeks original, unpublished papers on various aspects of distributed computing. Areas of special interest include (but are not restricted to):
* Experiences from development of distributed applications, * Enterprise application/platform integration and interoperability, * Scalability issues in distributed applications, * Extensions and refinements to open architectures (e.g. RM-ODP, OMA, COM+, TINA), * Experiences with distributed platforms and their scalability (e.g. CORBA, COM+, JINI), * Modelling and analysis of distributed architectures, * Components and frameworks for distributed applications (e.g. EJB, CORBA Component Model, application servers), * Managing and monitoring distributed applications, including QoS control, * Event-driven distributed information dissemination, * Services for distributed systems (e.g. location, transaction, security, persistence), * Mobile and wireless protocols and applications. * Context-aware and adaptive applications
Submissions
DAIS'2001 seeks submissions for
* full technical papers, describing original, unpublished research, in no more than 12 pages (approximately 6000 words); * work-in-progress papers, describing on-going work and interim results, in no more than 5 pages; and * tutorial proposals describing the contents and targets of the tutorial.
All papers will be reviewed, and accepted full papers will be published by Kluwer. We strongly encourage submissions of papers in Postscript format according to Kluwer style instructions available at http://www.wkap.com/ifip/styles/

About Krakow
Krakow (Cracow) proves to be Poland's prime cultural and tourist attraction with hardly any equals in the entire Central Europe. The Old Town district is actually a medieval city with a well preserved original grid of streets. The huge central square, Europe's largest, seems the last stage in the perfection of the art of city planning in the Middle Ages. Wawel Hill in Krakow, a must to visit for foreign tourists is a micro-cosmos of Polish history and culture. From the 11th century on Poland's monarchs took up their residence here, in the Royal Castle, and they were both crowned and buried in the Wawel Cathedral. Krakow, the proud capital of a mighty kingdom for centuries, is now a city of a truly European status. A genuine pearl in the vicinity of Krakow is the 700-years old Wieliczka Salt Mine, one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites: http://www.cyf-kr.edu.pl/wieliczka/ http://www.unesco.org/whc/sites/32.htm In 1995, the Cultural Council of Ministers of the European Union passed a decision granting the title of the Capital of European Culture for the year 2000 to nine cities. Krakow was nominated as one of the first laureates, in Central Europe along with Prague.
