                       IFIP/IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
                            ON DISTRIBUTED PLATFORMS

-Client/Server and Beyond: DCE, CORBA, ODP &  Advanced Distributed Applications-

         Dresden, Germany                     February 27 - March 1, 1996


In continuation of International Workshop on OSF DCE, Karlsruhe, Germany, 1993

Organized by          IFIP
                      IEEE Comm. Society          Gesellschaft fuer Informatik
                      Dresden Univ. of Techn.     Aachen  Univ. of Techn.

OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE
Client/Server applications are of increasing importance in industry, and have
been enhanced with advanced distributed object-oriented techniques, dedicated
tool support and both multimedia and mobile computing extensions. Such
solutions are a significant step towards a global distributed processing model.
Recent responses to this trend are standardized platforms and models including
the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) of the Open Software Foundation (OSF),
Open Distributed Processing (ODP), and the Common Object Request Broker
Architecture (CORBA) of the Object Management Group (OMG).

ICDP'96 will be a major forum for distributed systems researchers, network
developers, service providers, application designers and end users for discussing
the latest research and development results with respect to these platforms.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

  o Experiences with distributed applications and standardized platforms
     (DCE, CORBA, ODP, ONC+, ANSAware and others)
  o Distributed platforms in advanced development and research projects
  o Network services (directory, security, file management etc.)
  o Distributed application management
  o Objects in distributed environments
  o Trading concepts and open markets of distributed services
  o Quality of service in distributed applications
  o Applications of mobile communication systems

STRUCTURE OF THE CONFERENCE

- Technical Stream: Latest research results will be presented.
- Industrial Stream: Industrial developments and trends will be discussed.
- Demonstration Stream: Exhibition around distributed processing.

Original full papers (max. 15 pages) will belong to the Technical Stream.
Furthermore, you are invited to submit extended abstracts focusing on practical
work for both the Industrial Stream and the Demonstration Stream (max. 5 pages).
Accepted papers will be published in the international conference proceedings
by Chapman & Hall.

All submissions must be sent online (postscript) to the following email-address:
ICDP96 at ibc.inf.tu-dresden.de

IMPORTANT DATES:
Deadline for Submission: June 15, 1995
Notification of Acceptance: September 15, 1995
Camera ready papers: October 15, 1995

Tutorials (one day): February 27, 1996
Conference (three days): February 28 - March 1, 1996

Location: Dresden has become famous above all as city of the arts and is only a
two hours drive from Berlin to the north and Prague to the south. Major attractions
are the Semper Opera, the baroque Zwinger, the art collections (Gr|nes Gewvlbe,
Gemdldegalerie) and the Frauenkirche that is currently being rebuilt.
The surrounding countryside also provides many opportunities for sightseeing
including Pillnitz castle, the china manufacture in Mei_en and Saxon Switzerland.
