Call for Papers
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The 2nd International Workshop on .NET Technologies aims at bringing
together practitioners and researchers from academia and the industry to
discuss the latest developments in .NET and advance the state of the art in
the research on related technologies. The .NET Technologies 2004 workshop
builds upon the positive experience of the previous edition of the event,
held in Pilsen in February 2003. The high quality of research presented at
the previous workshop shows the growing interest in .NET - both in the
platform itself (porting .NET to different operating systems, e.g. Mono,
ROTOR) and in related technologies and languages.
TOPICS
Original papers related to .NET and its applications are sollicited. Both
theoretical and practical results (experience reports and case studies) are
welcome.
Suggested submission topics include:
- SOFTWARE ENGINEERING: software components, large-scale software, software
correctness, software security,
- PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND TECHNIQUES: object-oriented techniques,
programming paradigms, multi-language programming,
- PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING: multithreading, distributed
applications, high-performance computing, web services,
- ALGORITHMS AND DATA STRUCTURES,
- EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS: teaching object-oriented paradigm with .NET,
educational software,
- HUMAN COMPUTER INTERFACES: computer graphics, virtual reality with .NET,
- SUPPORT FOR .NET ON UNIX: Mono project, ROTOR, etc.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Bertrand Meyer, ETH Zurich & Eiffel Software
"Language interoperabilit y at work: Eiffel on .NET"
K. Rustan M. Leino, Microsoft Research
"SpeC#: Writing and checking contracts in a .NET language"
Harald Haller, sd&m Munich, Germany
"How to implement large applications successfully in .NET"
TUTORIALS
A selection of full-day and half-day tutorials will be offered to workshop
participants.
We invite proposals for tutorials presenting challenging applications of
..NET, and introducing potential users to .NET technologies. Especially
welcome are tutorials addressing one of the following topics (list
non-exhaustive):
- multi-language paradigm in .NET,
- concurrent and programming in .NET,
- distributed programming with .NET Remoting,
- C# programming language,
- software security.
Please contact the workshop co-chairs if you are interested in submitting a
proposal. Deadline for submissions is March 15.
