Distributed Objects for the 21st Century (DO21) is a new Workshop, co-located with the 23rd European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming in Genova, Italy. The workshop will take place July 7th, the day preceding the main conference.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a progressive and open-minded forum at ECOOP dedicated to the future of distributed object technology.

We invite you to read the Call for Papers and to join us for an interesting discussion in Genova this summer.
