The aim is to bring together researchers interested in incorporating object-oriented concepts and formal methods for specification of distributed systems and behaviours. TOPICS (NOT EXCLUSIVE LIST): ============================ Object-oriented approaches to specification of distributed systems and behaviours. Semantic models for concurrency and object-orientation (e.g. based on the lambda-calculus, process algebra, pi-calculus, linear logic). Characteristic examples of object-oriented specification from real application domains (e.g. distributed algorithms, workflow specification, communication protocols). Logic reasoning on distributed systems and behaviours. SUBMISSION: =========== The deadline for submission is September 2, 1999. Submission is in electronic form only. Submission may be of two forms: Extended abstracts: up to 3 pages. Papers and reports: up to 6 pages. In both cases a separate page with the following information: title, author(s), corresponding author, contact information and a 12-15 lines summary should be included. The papers and/or abstracts should be sent by e-mail to oosds99@informatik.uni-rostock.de. Selection for presentation will be carried out by the organizers. Emphasis is put on the potential of the submission to stimulate discussions in the above-mentioned scope. Notification of acceptance is expected for September 14, 1999. PUBLICATION: ============ The accepted submissions will be published electronically, i.e. they will remain available from the workshop web page. Furthermore, selected papers will be invited for post workshop publication. RELATED EVENTS: ============== This workshop is organized as a satellite workshop of PPDP'99, The 1999 International Conference on Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming, Paris, France, September 29-October 1, 1999. http://www.dmi.ens.fr/~fages/PPDP99/ ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE: ======================= Clemens H.
