Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2000 08:22:23 -0700 (MST) From: brian.tooby@baesystems.com To: seworld@cs.colorado.edu Subject: (SEWORLD) Call for Participation: Symposium on Distributed Software Systems ********************************************* * SYMPOSIUM ON DISTRIBUTED SOFTWARE SYSTEMS * ********************************************* 27 November 2000 Institution of Electrical Engineers, Savoy Place, London WC2 PROGRAMME SUMMARY ----------------- The common theme of this programme is "practical solutions to the problems of distributed systems", especially where reliability is a key concern. The Symposium focuses on different approaches to designing distributed systems, ranging from the support that Ada 95 provides through to approaches that are essentially language independent, but which are well suited to languages used in high reliability systems. Some approaches involve combining different techniques and languages in a single project, for example Ada, Java and CORBA. These presentations include a report on a highly successful commercial maritime project whose development approach focused very strongly on the system/software architecture. Several presentations concentrate on design issues associated with distributed architectures, and on solving the problems of long-lived, distributed systems whose configuration and development methods need to evolve throughout the lifetime of the project. There is also an opportunity following the event to take a flight on the London Eye, the world's largest observation wheel, and to attend a special dinner in celebration of Ada UK's 20th Anniversary.

Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2000 08:26:49 +0000 (GMT) From: brian.tooby@baesystems.com Subject: (SEWORLD) Symposium on Distributed Software Systems, Extended Deadline (2nd Call for Papers) To: seworld@cs.colorado.edu ********************************************* * SYMPOSIUM ON DISTRIBUTED SOFTWARE SYSTEMS * ********************************************* 27 November 2000 Institution of Electrical Engineers, Savoy Place, London WC2 In today's world, many complex software-based systems are distributed. It is not enough for each processor, typically containing hundreds or thousands of software modules, to work reliably in isolation. Each processor will also have to interwork reliably with a number of other processors, some of which may already be in place, may be programmed in a variety of languages, and may communicate with other processors using a variety of protocols. Organisations developing such systems cannot afford to reinvent software architectures for each new project, but need to maintain flexibility of requirements and configurations. This Symposium is intended to address a number of issues in the development of such systems, including: a) Support that the programming language itself provides for distribution. b) Different practical approaches to reusable, distributed software architectures, ranging from those that take full advantage of a particular programming language through to approaches that are essentially language-independent. c) Techniques for achieving the necessary levels of performance, testability, instrumentability, reconfigurability, and other desirable attributes. The Symposium will present experiences of solving these problems, and provide an opportunity to discuss important issues with other informed people. Call for Papers: Authors are invited to submit abstracts addressing the above themes. The abstracts, which will be refereed, should be submitted electronically to Dr J. S. Briggs at Jim.Briggs@port.ac.uk by Monday 18 September 2000 (extended from 21 August). Extended abstracts will be published in advance and distributed to delegates. Full papers will be published after the Symposium in the Ada User Journal. Note that Symposium fees are waived for presenters.
