Overview
As the last COOTS before the year 2000, COOTS '99 will focus on "The Object Lessons," our cumulative experiences in building and programming object-oriented systems. We invite you to submit high quality, previously unpublished, original papers on this theme as well as on all topics relating to object-oriented systems.
In addition to experience-centered papers, COOTS '99 accepts
papers on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
Keynote and Invited Speakers
In the long-standing tradition of USENIX conferences, COOTS '99 will
feature two prominent speakers, who combine extraordinary insights,
original thinking, creativity, and years of experience to make a difference
in the way we build and program computer systems. The first day of the
technical sessions will feature a keynote address by James Gosling of Sun
Microsystems, and the second day of the technical sessions will feature
an invited talk by Professor Barbara Liskov of MIT.
Tutorials
The COOTS conference will begin with two days of tutorials. We expect tutorial topics to include: Distributed object systems (CORBA, DCOM, RMI, etc.), Java and WWW programming languages, framework design, and object-oriented programming languages.
If you are interested in proposing a tutorial, contact the USENIX tutorial coordinator, Dan Klein, by phone at +1.412.422.0285 or by email to dvk@usenix.org
Technical Sessions
Two days of technical sessions will follow the tutorials. COOTS emphasizes research and advanced engineering aspects of object technology, focusing on experimental systems research. Conference Proceedings will be published by USENIX and provided free to technical session attendees. An award will be given for the best student paper at the conference.
Advanced Topics Workshop
As usual, the conference will conclude with an Advanced Topics Workshop, where a smaller audience can exchange in-depth technical information on a few position papers. The topic for the ATW will be announced several months before the conference.
What to Submit
Full papers should be 10 to 15 pages (around 5,000-6,000 words). All submissions will be judged on originality, relevance, and correctness.
Each submission must include a cover letter stating the paper title, the contact author, email and regular addresses, and a phone number.
The COOTS conference, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers not be submitted simultaneously to another conference or publication and that submitted papers not be previously or subsequently published elsewhere. Please see the detailed guidelines for submission (including examples of extended abstracts).
Where to Submit
Please send one copy of a full paper to the program committee via email (Postscript, PDF, or ASCII) to: coots99papers@usenix.org. All submissions will be acknowledged.
Registration Materials
Materials containing all details of the technical and tutorial programs, registration fees and forms, and hotel information will be available in February 1999. Please go to the conference Web site.
