Abstract

<pre>Many of the world′s most important and critical software systems are based on distributed object and middleware technologies. Middleware is software that resides between the applications and the underlying operating systems on every node of a distributed computing system. It provides the ″glue″ that connects distributed objects and applications and is at the heart of component–based systems, service–oriented architectures, agent–based systems, or peer–to–peer infrastructures. Distribution technologies have reached a high level of maturity. Classical distributed object middleware (e.g., CORBA, .NET and Java–based technologies) and message–oriented middleware (e.g., publish/subscribe systems) have been widely successful. We are now witnessing a shift to coarser–grained component–based and service–oriented architectures (e.g., Web services). Middleware for mobile applications and peer–to–peer systems (e.g., JXTA) is also gaining increasing popularity, as it allows bridging users without reliance on centralized resources. Common to all these approaches are goals such as openness, reliability, scalability, awareness, distribution transparency, security, ease of development, or support for heterogeneity between applications and platforms. Also, of utmost importance today is the ability to integrate distributed services and applications with other technologies such as the Web, multimedia systems, databases, peer–to–peer systems, or Grids. Along with the rapid evolution of these fields, continuous research and development is required in distributed technologies to advance the state of the art and broaden the scope of their applicability Two Dimensions: Research & Practice Research in distributed objects, components, services, and middleware establishes new principles that open the way to solutions that can meet the requirements of tomorrow′s applications. Conversely, practical experience in real–world projects drives this same research by exposing new ideas and unveiling new types of problems to be solved. DOA explicitly intends to provide a forum to help trigger and foster this mutual interaction. Submissions are therefore welcomed along both these dimensions: research (fundamentals, concepts, principles, evaluations, patterns, and algorithms) and practice (applications, experience, case studies, and lessons). Contributions attempting to bridge the gap between these two dimensions are particularly encouraged. As we are fully aware of the differences between academic and industrial research and development, submissions will be treated accordingly and judged by a peer review not only for scientific rigor (in the case of ″academic research″ papers), but also for originality and relevance (in the case of ″case study″ papers). About DOA DOA 2008 is part of a joint event on the theme ″meaningful Internet systems and ubiquitous computing″. This federated event co–locates five related and complementary conferences in the areas of networked information systems, covering key issues in distributed infrastructures and enabling technologies (DOA), data and Web semantics (ODBASE), cooperative information systems (CoopIS), Grid computing (GADA) and Information Security (ISS).
