SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The 3rd International Conference on .NET Technologies aims at bringing together practitioners and researchers from academia and the industry to discuss the latest developments in .NET and advance the state of the art in the research on related technologies. Interest in these topics has been continuously growing as a consequence of the importance and the ubiquity of object-oriented technologies. .NET Technologies 2005 builds upon the positive experience of the previous editions of the event, held in Pilsen in February 2003 and May 2004.


TOPICS
Original papers describing theoretical and practical results (experience reports and case studies) are sollicited in the following areas:

- SOFTWARE ENGINEERING: software components, large-scale software, software correctness, software security, 
- PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND TECHNIQUES: object-oriented techniques, programming paradigms, multi-language programming, 
- PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING: multithreading, distributed applications, high-performance computing, web services, 
- VIRTUAL MACHINES AND BYTECODE, 
- ALGORITHMS AND DATA STRUCTURES, 
- EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS: teaching object-oriented paradigm with .NET, educational software, 
- HUMAN COMPUTER INTERFACES: computer graphics, virtual reality with .NET, 
- SUPPORT FOR .NET ON UNIX: Mono project, ROTOR, 
- OTHER TOPICS RELATED TO .NET.  


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submitted papers must not have been published or concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the conference. Each paper will be refereed by at least 3 reviewers. Presented papers will be included in the conference proceedings.

Papers should be written in English and not exceed 10 pages (4 pages for short papers) in ACM proceedings format. Further information and instructions about submissions can be found on the conference website  (http://dotnet.zcu.cz/NET_2005).


JOURNAL PUBLICATION
The best papers presented at the conference will be published, in their extended version, in a special issue of Journal of Object Technology (JOT, http://www.jot.fm). 


TUTORIALS
We invite proposals for tutorials (3h/6h) that present challenging applications of .NET, and introducing potential users to .NET technologies. Especially welcome are tutorials addressing one of the following topics (list non-exhaustive): 
- multi-language paradigm in .NET,
- concurrent and distributed programming in .NET,
- programming languages,
- software security. 
Deadline for proposal submission is February 7, 2005.
