Call for Papers and Workshop Description
The Internet world is being transformed before our eyes as open standards such as XML are being rapidly adopted. XML technologies are being seen as harbinger of various new functionality in numerous domains ranging from electronic commerce to electronic publishing to healthcare delivery to manufacturing to insurance, not to mention the Web's traditional hypertext. Various object-oriented technologies and standards, such as Java, CORBA and DCOM, have also progressed rapidly in the past few years. At this time, the industry and academia are seriously looking at the intersection of these technologies and what it means to the future of the object-web paradigm. The W3C's latest proposals for a next-generation XML schema language [1,2] contain object-oriented extensions and Sun has organized an expert panel to provide mappings from XML to Java classes [3]. Both of these efforts were anticipated by Commerce One's Schema for Object-oriented XML (SOX) [4]. The OMG has also a number of activities focusing in this arena and has chosen XML as the transfer format for the UML's Meta-Object Framework [5].
This workshop aims to bring together participants who are seriously investigating the combined use of these technologies to support practical application needs in a variety of domains. The goal of this workshop is to investigate how XML and Distributed Object technologies, such as Java, CORBA and DCOM, can be integrated leveraging the strengths each have to offer.

Partial List of Topics:
Integrating XML and Distributed Object technologies Advances in XML: DOM, SAX, XSL, Schemas, XLink as it relates to Objects Advances in CORBA 3.0, Java, DCOM as it relates to XML Tools and utilities that facilitate integration of XML and object-technologies Application of XML and Object technologies in E-commerce, Finance, Healthcare, Publishing, Insurance, Manufacturing and System Integration. The purpose of these examples should be to show specific successful integration approaches of XML and objects.

Submission Details
Papers should contain original contributions not published or submitted elsewhere, and references to related state-of-the-art work. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their views of the field at the oral presentation.
Papers up to six pages (including figures, tables and references) can be submitted. Papers should follow the IEEE format , which is single spaced, two columns, 10 pt Times/Roman font. Papers should include a title, the name and affiliation of each author, an abstract of up to 150 words and no more than eight keywords. Authors are also required to provide contact addresses, if different from the submitting electronic address.
Please submit your paper in electronic format (HTML or PDF) to any (one) of the co-chairs.
Additionally, authors may send the URL of their paper and/or of their home page to be included into the WWW page of the workshop.
As an exception, papers may also be submitted as hardcopies. In that case submit 5 copies of your paper to one of the organisers.
Full papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the post-proceedings.
The best paper of the workshop will be nominated for the WETICE best-paper award.
Paper submissions are not required for participation in the workshop. If you plan to participate and want to receive a copy of the question/topics-list prior to the workshop, please contact the organizers.
If you have further questions or remarks, don't hesitate to contact the workshop organizers.

About WET ICE
WET ICE is an annual, international forum for state-of-the-art research in enabling technologies for collaboration.
WET ICE 2000 will consist of parallel, three-day workshops on different topics related to collaboration technology. Each workshop will include paper presentations and working group discussions, with additional joint keynote sessions and a final joint session to summarize each groups' findings.
What sets WET ICE apart from larger conferences is that the workshops are kept small enough to promote fruitful discussions on the latest technology developments, directions, problems, and requirements. Each group will produce a summary report which will appear in the post-proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
