 ECOOP'95 Workshop on Mobility and Replication
 Aarhus, Denmark, August 8th, 1995

 NEW: Submission deadline has been extended to 23rd of June.
 
 Call for Participation
 
 The recent trend towards mobility raises new perspectives and
 research issues for distributed computing, in particular distributed
 object management.
 
 Some of the new issues concern, the management of mutating
 communication channels for mobile object location identification,
 the specification of protocols allowing operations on a distributed
 mobile state and the creation and reconciliation of replicas to
 support of disconnected operation.
 
 This workshop intends to bring together people interested in
 mobility and replication issues from an object-oriented point of
 view, i.e., where the units considered for migration and replication
 are objects.
 
 Mobility/replication related topics of interest include,
 but are not limited to:
 
  - Mobile (active) objects
  - Migration for load distribution
  - Migration for availability
  - Wire(-less) migration protocols
  - Replication for availability
  - Replication for efficiency
  - Location and naming
  - Disconnected operation
  - Coordination protocols 
  - Object grouping
 
 Interested participants should submit a position paper (at most 4 pages)
 to the main contact person. Email submissions are required (Postscript or 
 plain text). All submitted papers will be made available to everybody.
 
 Authors submitting position papers containing material/ideas good
 for presentations to start discussions will be selected for
 short presentations.
 
 
 Submission Details
 
 The result of the evaluation of papers received by June 23 may be
 1) accepted for presentation, 2) accepted without presentation,
 or 3) rejected. Notification will be sent out by email at the latest
 by June 30.
 
 Papers received after June 23 will also be evaluated but may only be
 accepted without presentation and depending on available room space.
 
 Participants selected for presentations will be encouraged to
 bring copies of one full paper each at the workshop.
 Depending on general quality of papers, a postceedings including
 the best papers will be considered.

 NEW: Selected papers will be considered for publication
 in the ACM Wireless Networks Journal. 
 
 Important Deadlines
 
 Submissions are due to:        June 23, 1995
 Notification of acceptance:    June 30, 1995
