          This workshop on OSF DCE addresses all aspects related to DCE,
          the emerging standard for open distributed computing. The major
          goal of the workshop is to bring together people interested in
          DCE and related technology. The workshop is both for
          practitioners and for researchers who wish to present their own
          work based on DCE, who want to gain insights into DCE functionality,
          or who are concerned with related efforts towards open
          distributed computing.

          Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

          - Distributed applications on top of DCE
          - DCE technology components: foundations, evaluations,
             comparisons, new concepts etc.
            (especially concerning RPC, Threads, Directory, Security,
             Time, File System etc.)
          - Discussion of practical experiences with DCE
          - Relationship with other standardization efforts (e.g. ISO/OSI,
             OMG/CORBA, ODP, UI/Atlas)
          - DCE and object-oriented programming
          - DCE solutions for heterogeneous PC/workstation environments
          - Multimedia and CSCW applications based on DCE
          - DCE system porting
          - Implementation-level or conceptual extensions of DCE
          - Practical and theoretical limits of DCE
          - Other topics related to DCE within the broader context of
             distributed computing
