TOOLS is the major international conference and exhibition devoted to the
application of object-oriented technology. TOOLS Asia '97, the twenty-fourth
TOOLS International Conference and Exhibition, will be run in Beijing,
China. This will be the first time that a TOOLS conference is held in Asia.
TOOLS Asia '97 will continue the commitment to excellence demonstrated by
earlier conferences in Australia, Europe and the U.S. Standards established
for TOOLS by earlier conferences in the series include:
* Dual emphases on both the practice of object-oriented technology and
its application in industrial environments, and the latest advances in
O-O theory and formal development.
* Solid technical program, based on a strict refereeing process conducted
by an international program committee comprised of both academic and
industry leaders.
* Balanced coverage of the wealth of approaches, trends and variants in
the object-oriented community.
* Combination of tutorials by international experts, up-to-date
exhibitions of products and services, invited talks by innovators in
the field, relevant panel discussions, and technical papers targeted to
industry practitioners.
In addition, TOOLS Asia '97 will be assisted by an advisory committee ,
representing many senior researchers and developers in the field.
As with previous conferences, the TOOLS 24 Proceedings will be published and
made available worldwide. Information on call for papers and submission
procedures can be found here.

SUBMITTING PAPERS
TOOLS Asia '97 is now soliciting papers on all aspects of object-oriented
technology. All submitted papers will be refereed and judged not only
according to standards of technical quality but also on their usefulness to
practitioners and applied researchers. Theoretical and practical papers
representing lessons of experience on these topics are especially sought. A
non-exhaustive list of suggested topics include:
* Specification, development and application of O-O methods and tools
* Testing techniques and tools
* O-O data models, persistence and databases
* Distributed Object technology (Corba, OpenDoc, ActiveX/OLE, etc.)
* Business Objects
* Patterns, Libraries and Frameworks
* O-O languages and packages
* Formal semantics of O-O languages and data models
* O-O metrics
* Reports of experience with O-O technology
* Migration towards O-O software development
* O-O user interfaces
* Class management and evolution
* Empirical and field studies
* Production, distribution and revenue collection of industrial-quality
reusable components
* Standardisation and quality assurance of O-O components
* Re-engineering and reverse engineering of O-O systems
* Education and training of object technology
TOOLS 24 will feature workshops and panels on components, distributed
objects and emerging methodologies standards. Technical papers are expressly
sought in these areas.
Papers can be submitted in either of the following two categories:
* Regular papers (8-15 single spaced A4 pages): fully refereed, complete
paper accepted for international publication in the proceedings.
* Short papers (4-8 single spaced A4 pages): fully refereed, extended
abstract published in the proceedings.
Detail information on submitting proposals for tutorials, panels and
workshops, as well as submission procedures can be found at TOOLS Asia'97
