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. IMPORTANT DATES Paper (regular and short) submission deadline: April 25, 1997 Tutorial proposal submission deadline: April 25, 1997 Workshop and panel proposal submission deadline: May 9, 1997 Notification of paper acceptance: June 27, 1997 Final paper manuscripts due: July 25, 1997 Conference: September 22-25, 1997 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 home page.
