Digital's Campusbased Engineering Center (CEC), Karlsruhe and the University of Karlsruhe, Institute for Telematics, FRG announce the international workshop on Distribution and Objects in conjunction with the 12th DECUS Munich Symposium at Karlsruhe, FRG. The workshop will be held on April 6th, 1989 where talks will be given by researchers and developers in the following areas: o Object-Orientation in Distributed Systems and Applications o Existing Object-Oriented Environments o Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) o Architectural Aspects for Object-Oriented and/or Distributed Environments All talks will present current work and/or future topics of related projects. Goal of the workshop is to present the state-of-the-art of programming languages, database systems, software development envi- ronments and operating systems. The proceedings of the workshop will be published by DECUS Munich. The workshop language will be English. Program Committee: ================== H. Frank, Digital Equipment GmbH L. Heuser, Digital Equipment GmbH (Chairman) J. Kienhvfer, University of Karlsruhe W. Krdmer, DECUS Munich Prof. Dr. G. Kr|ger, University of Karlsruhe Dr. M. M|hlhduser, University of Karlsruhe A. Schill, University of Karlsruhe Dr. I. Varsek, Digital Equipment GmbH The organisations: ================== Digital's Campusbased Engineering Center (CEC) was founded in 1987. It promotes technology transfer and research in the context of both Digital's corporate-wide engineering activities and the Karlsruhe technology region. The CEC is driving several projects, the major ones being DOCASE, dealing with development support for distributed applications, and Nestor, a project to build a platform for computer- based training delivery and authoring. The Institute for Telematics at the University of Karlsruhe: Its general goal is bridge the gap between Telecommunication and In- formatics (computer). Research topics cover a very broad range such as high-speed, network performance evaluation, communication protocol engineering, Telematics & education, and the one covered in the work- shop: software engineering for distributed applications. DECUS M|nchen e.V. (DECUS Munich) is an independent customer organ- ization representing 9.000 users of Digital Equipment computers in Germany, Austria and Hungary. DECUS Munich is a chapter of the worldwide operating Digital Equipment Computer Users Society.
