Fractal workshop at Middleware 2005

[Jean-Bernard Stefani <Jean-Bernard.Stefani@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

As you may have noticed in the recent ObjectWeb 
announcements, we intend to run a Fractal workshop
in conjunction with the Middleware 2005 series of 
events (Middleware 2005 itself + associated 
conference CD 2005 and workshops). The goal of 
this workshop would be to be a follow-on of our 
succesful
Fractal workshop last June, and would again aim 
to bring together people doing interesting 
developments
around the Fractal model and its supporting tools.

The workshop is to take place on Nov. 29, 2005, 
at the same location than the Middleware 
conference. See
http://middleware05.objectweb.org/ for details.

The workshop would be organized as follows:

9:00-11:00 Fractal tutorial
* The Fractal model: principles & concepts
* Supporting Fractal: ADL & implementations

11:00-13:00 Fractal developments
14:00-16:00 Fractal developments
16:30-17:30 Fractal v3: update and planning


The first session (9:00 to 11:00) will be a 
tutorial session, especially open to people at 
the conference who would like to know more about 
the Fractal component model and its associated 
tools. This session
will try to be as up to date as possible 
concerning Fractal support, so it should also 
prove interesting
to people already familiar with Fractal.

The second and third sessions (11:00 to 16:00) 
will focus on ongoing and new developments around 
Fractal. If you have ongoing work on Fractal 
related stuff, either building and improving on 
the Fractal technology, or if you want to report 
on interesting uses of Fractal, please contact me 
AND Thierry Coupaye so that we can schedule a 
slot for you at the workshop.

The last session (16:30 to 17:30) will be 
dedicated to discuss planning for the evolution 
of the Fractal model and its supporting 
technology in ObjectWeb.

Attendance at the Fractal workshop will be free, 
howewer you are strongly encouraged to
register to the Middleware 2005 events. If you 
register to Middleware 2005, you will have the 
benefit of all the proceedings, ... as well as 
access to the lunch buffet :-).

Best regards,

Jean-Bernard
