About the Event:
The Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference is the primary annual event bringing together academics and practitioners to address issues related to enterprise architecture and distributed object computing. It embraces the rapidly maturing distributed object and component technologies for enterprise computing, such as J2EE, .NET and emerging new standards and paradigms, such as Web Services and event-driven computing, as a basis for alignment of business and IT. EDOC 2004 is the latest in the successful series of conferences, which since 1997 has brought together leading researchers and industry experts to discuss problems, solutions, and experiences in meeting current and future enterprise distributed computing needs. This year the conference will be improved by including workshops and an industrial experience track.
