Sponsored by South Bank University, London. SCOPE OOIS'94 is an International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems, to be held on 19-21 December 1994, at South Bank University. The theme of the Conference is "Object Technology for the 21st Century". The aim is to highlight contributions from leading researchers and engineers who are working on object technology and its application to information systems design and development. The conference will feature an academic stream and an industrial stream. The academic stream will have its emphasis on the novelty and significance of object-oriented concepts and principles. The industrial stream will feature contributions which report successful industrial and commercial applications. Object-oriented techniques are an emerging field which is having a tremendous impact on information system design. Because of the evolving nature on this new field, the scope of OOIS'94 will be wide. Topics of interest to the conference include: % Concepts and Methodology % Data Modelling % Database Management Systems % Decision Support Systems % Multimedia Systems % Networks and Communication Systems % Human Computer Interaction % Expert Systems and Applications % Model Based Diagnosis and Reasoning % Distributed Systems % Data Exchange between Heterogeneous Systems. PAPER SUBMISSION Four copies of the paper should be sent by May 14, 1994 to the Organising Chair. (1) Name, affiliation, and complete address for each author. (2) A designated contact person including his/her telephone (3) A designated presenter, should the paper be accepted.
