it is possible that some of the metadata issues might fit better
in data engineering ... see attached posting.

   Fifth International Workshop on Research Issues on Data Engineering: 

   DISTRIBUTED OBJECT MANAGEMENT  

   Taipei, Taiwan, March 6-7, 1995   2.5in  
  Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society (pending)  

  RIDE-DOM'95 is the fifth of a series of annual workshops on Research
Issues in Data Engineering (RIDE). RIDE workshops are held in
conjunction with the IEEE CS International Conferences on Data
Engineering. Past successful RIDE conferences include RIDE-IMS'91
(Kyoto, Japan), RIDE-TQP'92 (Pheonix, USA), RIDE-IMS'93 (Vienna), and
RIDE-ADB'94 (Houston, USA). The next RIDE workshop will also focus on
distributed object management systems.

  The objective of the workshop is to provide a forum for the
discussion and disseminatin of original and fundamental advances in
all aspects of distributed object management. Original research papers
are sought in all areas related this objective. The following is
partial list of research areas of interest:

    	Distibuted Objectbase Design
    	Distributed object system architecture  
    	Object Migration
    	Transactions in Object-Oriented Systems  
    	Managing large distributed object stores 
    	Distributed garbage collection  
    	Language Support for Persistent Objects
    	Queries and Optimization 
    	Operating System Support
    	Applications (e.g., GIS, CSCW) 
    	Object Views 
    	Supporting Interoperability

  The workshop encourages papers from industrial and user communities
that will promote debate among researchers and practitioners. The
workshop will include panel sessions that will investigate the
emerging products, standards and application platforms. The
proceedings consisting of the accepted papers will be published by
IEEE Computer Society and will be widely available.

  INSTRUCTIONS : Authors are invited to submit six copies of
manuscripts (up to 25 pages, double-spaced) by July 22, 1994 (hard
deadline!), to the RIDE'95 Secretariat:
