The OTM Academy deals with the topics of all OTM conferences. OnTheMove co-locates successful interrelated and complementary conferences that together attempt to span a relevant range of research and development, from fundamental technology to enterprise application.

They are DOA-SVI (= infrastructure and architecture), ODBASE (= meaning of data as needed for databases and ontologies),  and CoopIS  (= applications of distributed and collaborative computing in networked organizations). Each conference covers multiple research vectors, viz. theory (e.g. underlying formalisms), conceptual level (e.g. technical designs and conceptual solutions) and applications (e.g. case studies and industrial best practices).

 The general areas addressed by OTM Academy are:

• Meaningful internet systems and ubiquitous computing
• Distributed Objects and Applications
• Ontologies, Databases and Applications of Semantics
• Cooperative Information Systems
• Grid computing, high-performance and Distributed Applications
• Information Security
• Information Management
• Applications, Evaluations, and Experiences
• Business Process Management
• Software Services
• Agent technologies and systems  

We refer to the main OTM web site for a description of the OnTheMove in general. Each OTM Conference has its own web page where you can find a list of specific topics. Obviously, papers covering specific topics from one of these conferences are welcomed as well at the OTM Academy.
