It provides a nice opportunity to present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas. All papers submitted to this workshop will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html). The Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series are published as printed books and as full-text electronic versions (see FIDJI 2002 edition at http://link.springer.de/link/service/series/0558/tocs/t2604.htm). LOCATION FIDJI 2003 will be held in Luxembourg (http://www.luxembourg.co.uk/nutshell.html) at the Luxembourg University of Applied Sciences (http://www.ist.lu). SCOPE The FIDJI 2003 workshop provides an opportunity for academia to present current research and development activities and for industry to present experience in the management of projects and in the use of development methodologies in the field of distributed software systems. The topics of interest in this conference will include, but are not limited to: * design of distributed Java applications * Java related technologies * software and system architecture engineering and development methodologies * development methodologies for UML * development of reliable distributed systems * component based development methodologies * management of evolutions/iterations in the analysis, design,implementation and test phases * dependability support during system life cycle * managing inconsistencies during application development * atomicity and exception handling in system development * software architectures, frameworks and design patterns for developing distributed systems * integration of formal techniques in the development process * formal analysis and grounding of modelling notation and techniques (e.g.,UML, metamodelling) * supporting security requirement of distributed application in the development process * refactoring methods * industrial and academic case studies * development and analysis tools PROGRAM CHAIRS Guelfi Nicolas, IST, Luxembourg Astesiano Egidio, DISI Genoa, Italy Reggio Gianna, DISI, Genoa, Italy INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE Astesiano Egidio, DISI Genoa, Italy Biberstein Olivier, HTA, Bienne, Switzerland Bouvry Pascal, IST, Luxembourg Di Marzo Giovanna, CUI, Geneva, Switzerland Dubois Eric, CRP Henri-Tudor, Luxembourg Fourdrinier Frédéric, Hewlett-Packard, France Gengler Marc, ESIL, Marseille France Guelfi Nicolas, IST, Luxembourg Guerraoui Rachid, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland Huzar Zbigniew, Wroclaw University of Technology, Wroclaw, Poland Keller Rudolph, Zühlke Engineering, Schlieren, Switzerland Karsenty Alain, GNI, Marseille, France Koskimies Kai, University of Helsinki, Finland Kozaczynski Wojtek, Microsoft Corporation, USA Molli Pascal, LORIA, Nancy, France Parnas David, University of Limerick, Limerick, Ireland Petitpierre Claude, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland Reggio Gianna, DISI, Genoa, Italy Romanovsky Sacha, DCS, Newcastle, England Rothkugel Steffen, IST, Luxembourg Rottier Geert, Hewlett-Packard, Belgium Sendall Shane, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland Souquières Jeanine, LORIA, Nancy, France Vachon Julie, DIRO, Montreal, Canada Warmer Jos, Klasse Objecten, Soest, Netherlands ORGANISING COMMITTEE Amza Catalin, IST/DISI, Genoa, Italy De Colnet Olivier, SITEC, Luxembourg Guelfi Nicolas, IST, Luxembourg Kies Mireille, IST, Luxembourg Lambeau Bernard, SITEC, Luxembourg Perrouin Gilles, IST, Luxembourg Reggio Gianna, DISI, Genoa, Italy Ries Benoît, IST, Luxembourg Sterges Paul, IST, Luxembourg SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Submission instructions are available on our web site: http://fidji2003.ist.lu. All submissions should be done electronically in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf), Postscript (.ps), or MSWord (.doc) format. Do not send paper copies. Authors should follow the instructions on: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The page limit for final papers is ten pages (5 000 words). Please provide four key words to indicate the subject area of your paper. One of the key words must be taken from the list of topics provided under scope defined above. The FIDJI 2003 Secretariat must receive your paper by September 1st, 2003. Notification of acceptance will be sent via e-mail on October 15th, 2003. Registration payments and final manuscripts are due by November 1st, 2003. Authors are expected to strictly respect the deadlines for paper submission and registration. Please note that one of the authors has to present the paper at the workshop, and that for the final submission one of the authors will need to sign a LNCS copyright form for the paper (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/copyright.html). Not meeting these requirements will result in the exclusion of the paper from the proceedings. Detailed instructions for the final submission will be sent by e-mail. The formatting instructions for final manuscripts must be strictly followed. Proceedings will be available at the conference and a post-workshop book will be published in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences Series. TUTORIALS Two tutorials will be integrated in the program. Proposals for half-day tutorials (three hours plus breaks) should be submitted online by September 1st, 2003. Tutorials are to be submitted online via web site. A tutorial proposal should clearly indicate the topic, background knowledge expected of the participants, objectives, time allocations for the major course topics, and the qualifications of the instructor(s). IMPORTANT DEADLINES Submissions due September 1, 2003 Notification of acceptance October 15, 2003 Registration, full payment, and final papers due November 1, 2003 For more information, or to be placed on our mailing list, please contact: FIDJI 2003 Secretariat Mireille Kies IST - Luxembourg University of Applied Sciences 6 , rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi L-1359 Luxembourg-Kirchberg LUXEMBOURG Tel. +352 42 01 01 - 1 Fax. +352 43 21 24 E-mail: fidji2003(a)ist.lu Web Site: http://fidji2003.ist.lu
