Tyler, 

    If, by some chance,  you could write it by 18 December - and especially
if you could tie it into WOMP as a more effective and assured approach to
distributed object security - I can offer the Distributed Objects and
Components Security (DOCSec) workshop as a venue for presentation and both
paper and web publication. tyler

    I'd also like to extend the same invitation to everyone on this list! 
We've extended our submission deadline from 4 November to 18 December and
would welcome any contributions that extend or demonstrate the theory and
practice of DOCSec. Contributions can take the form of a full (5-8 page)
paper; an abstract for a work-in-progress, product or system, research or
development effort; a tutorial; or a panel. The workshop itself will be in
Baltimore, MD from 7-10 April 2003. Accepted papers will be published in
the April 2003 issue of Information Security Bulletin. The papers, along
with any presentation slides from the workshop, will also be archived (by
early May) on a permanent DOCSec 2003 web page hosted by the OMG.

    You can find more details about the workshop at URL
