Whoa... surprised I never heard of this sooner. Comments, gang?

Happened right under my nose, so to speak:
==========
ACM Workshop on Strategic Directions in Computing Research

Peter Wegner, Chair; Jon Doyle, Associate Chair

MIT Laboratory for Computer Science
Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
June 14-15, 1996
==========

The publish-and-subscribe muddleware site list below is handy, too.

> Last Chance to be a Co-organizer (OOPSLA Midyear Workshops)

> It looks like there will be Workshops on the applications of object
> technology in Telecommunications, Finance, Health Care, Transactional
> Frameworks and Manufacturing. It is still possible to submit short
> proposals to co-organize these or other workshops. See the announcement
> at "http://www.amsinc.com/cjava/oopsla.txt". Let me know before January
24
> if you will be sending in a proposal. The basic content should be a
> description of your work in the area and your thoughts on the key
issues.

> Some Publish-and-Subscribe (P&S) Web Sites
>
> Publish-and-subscribe middleware will be one of the big growth areas
> in 1997 due to its scalability and flexibility for Internet
applications.
> The combination of publish-and-subscribe middleware and Java interfaces
> could offer some interesting new possibilities(e.g. multicasting of Java
> objects and/or applets). Here are some pages and vendors to check out
> for more information.
