Advances in networking have allowed computer systems across the world to be interconnected. Despite this, heterogeneity in interaction models prevents interworking between systems. Open Distributed Processing (ODP) is an emerging technology which attempts to solve the software interaction problem by proposing a common framework for distributed systems. ODP systems are those that support heterogeneous distributed processing both within and between autonomous organisations.
One of the aims of ICODP'95 is to bring together representatives from both academia and industry to discuss the Conference theme Achieving Open Distributed Systems - Experiences with Distributed Environments.
Areas In addition to papers addressing the Conference theme, papers are sought in all areas pertinent to ODP, including but not limited to: Distributed Applications (for Telecommunications, Government, etc), Distributed Architectures, Trading and Type Management, Distributed Environments, Computer Supported Co-operative Work, Enterprise Issues, Resource Discovery, Modeling and Specification, Security, Transactions, Management.
Information for Authors Contributions are expected either as papers (max 12 pages) or as position statements (max 4 pages). The purpose of position statements is to provide a seed for debate and discussion. See full version of this Call for submission information, addresses, etc.
Dates: Subm: Oct 14 (papers), Nov 25 (position statements), 1994;
Notif: Dec 9, 1994; Final: Jan 20, 1995.

A TINA (Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture) Conference will be held in Melbourne, in the week prior to ICODP'95. This is aimed at initiating and consolidating a sound worldwide base for the technological advances needed to bring telecommunications and computing together into an overall information networking architecture.
