The workshop will try to build bridges between the database community and the mobile computing community. Many researchers in both communities are working on object replication and consistency issues but the goals are often different. One side is mostly focusing on implementing transactions, recovery, and the ACID properties, whereas the other side is mostly focusing on implementing availability, caching, and user mobility. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Application needs for replication * ACID properties in replicated systems * Distributed transactions * Replication for load distribution * Replication for availability * Replication for fault tolerance * Autonomous creation of replicas * Disconnected operation * Replicated active objects * Update protocols * Release consistency and other consistency models The main goal of the workshop is to get a better understanding of the replication and consistency issues, including the application needs. Interested participants should submit a position paper of at most 4 pages. Papers must be in HTML or plain text and submitted by Email to birger.andersen@cbs.dk. All accepted papers will be made available at the workshop home page. Submission Details Authors submitting position papers discussing new and untraditional ideas that can fill a part of the gap between the database community and the mobile computing community, and with a good force for starting discussions, may be selected for presentation of their work. Submissions are due to: June 1, 1998 Notification of acceptance: June 15, 1998 The result of the evaluation may be: Accepted for presentation, Accepted for participation, Rejected All workshop organizers will review all position papers. Authors of the best papers will be given time for presentations. We will use a couple of hours for group discussions, putting the participants in 3-4 discussion groups. To direct the group discussions we will hand out for each group a list of tasks. No submission received after the submission due date will be accepted for presentation. Number of participants is limited to 20. Participants selected for presentations will be encouraged to bring copies of full papers elaborating on their work. We expect to be able to publish the best papers in the ECOOP'98 Workshop Reader or in a related publication.
