ISORC '98

The 1st IEEE International Symposium on
Object-oriented Real-time distributed Computing


April 20 - 22, 1998 Sponsored by: In cooperation with:

IEEE Computer Information
Kyoto International Society TC on Processing Society
Conference Hall Distributed of Japan, SIGSE
Kyoto, Japan Processing IFIP WG 10.4
OMG


(The 4th IEEE Workshop on Object-oriented Real-time Dependable
Systems (WORDS '98) and
The 4th Int'l Workshop on Object-Oriented Real-Time Systems (WOORTS '98)
will not occur as separate events and instead they are embedded
into ISORC '98.)

SCOPE

The ISORC is a new IEEE Computer Society symposium series dealing
with the emerging object-oriented real-time distributed computing
(ORC) technology. The ORC is a rapidly growing young
technological field. So far, the technical meetings that
concentrated on this ORC technology were of the workshop type. It
is the judgment of the ISORC Executive Committee that the entire
field of ORC has now outgrown the capacity that a typical workshop
can provide.

The main technical theme of the ISORC is how to extend the well
established object-oriented computing technology, i.e., the
technology that has prevailed the non-real-time business data
processing field in the past decade, into the technologies that
are effectively applicable to various classes of real-time
applications.

The ISORC was created with the goal of becoming an exemplary
symposium series with respect to the maintenance of an open
symposium spirit. The following guidelines will be used by the
Program Committee (PC) in evaluating the submitted papers and
composing the technical program.

(1) Papers presenting practical techniques, ideas, or evaluations
will be favored. Papers reporting practical experiences or
experimental developments are particularly welcome.
(2) Papers completely lacking originality will not be acceptable.
However, for the papers reporting experiences or experiments, the
originality will not be interpreted narrowly. For example, new
evidences leading to a conclusion similar to the conclusion that
was supported by different evidences earlier in literature, will
still be given serious considerations as long as clear references
to the earlier works are given.
(3) Papers that are based on exceedingly unrealistic assumptions
will not be accepted however mathematically or logically
sophisticated the discussion may be.
Papers in all aspects of object-oriented real-time distributed
computing are sought, including but not limited to the following
aspects:
- New ORC paradigms
- Object models
- Requirements engineering
- System (incl. communication), hardware, and software
architectures (real-time CORBA, DCOM, etc.)
- Specification and design
- Languages and tools for structuring real-time objects
- Highly Dependable ORC, including fault-tolerant and secure ORC
- Resource allocation
- Operating system support for ORC and real-time object
request brokers
- Database architecture for ORC
- Real-time simulation
- Testing, verification, and evaluation of system properties,
including output accuracy, timeliness, dependability, etc.
- System/software engineering methodology
- Multimedia processing and WAN communication applications
- Application areas such as embedded systems (automobile,
avionics, consumer electronics), business and industrial
applications, etc.

Papers dealing with othesynopses (3 double-
spaced pages or less in length) of substantial real-time
applications are also invited, and should contain enough
information for the program committee to understand the scope of
the project and evaluate the novelty of the problem or approach.
All accepted submissions will appear in the proceedings. WORDS
'98 and WOORTS '98 will be integrated into ISORC '98 and thus all
papers must be submitted to ISORC '98.

Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically,
and also email the abstract and the full addresses of the
author(s), by the following deadlines.

Full paper in an electronic document format and
Email containing an abstract of max. 200 words and
the full addresses of the author(s) :

by November 7, 1997

For electronic submission of the full paper, only the electronic
documents in
- the Microsoft WORD document file format,
- the PDF format, or
- the Postscript format
are acceptable. The name of the word processor used to generate
the PDF or Postscript documents and also the name of the printer
which the authors used to test the electronic documents must also
be indicated in the cover email.

All submissions must be sent to :
Professor Insup Lee
Department of Computer and Information Science
University of Pennsylvania
Philadelphia, PA 19104-6389
tel: (215) 898-3532 (only for urgent matters)
fax: (215) 898-0587
email: isorc98@cis.upenn.edu

The authors will receive acceptance/rejection notices via email
during December 18 - 30, 1997 and in case of acceptance, the
authors will be required to revise their papers based on the
reviewers' comments and submit their final camera-ready papers by
January 31, 1998.

** For participants of ICSE '98: ICSE '98 (The IEEE CS Int'l
Conf. on Software Engineering) will be held immediately after
ISORC '98, during April 22 - 24, 1998, in the same hotel.

(Another conference in Asia during the week: ISIT '98,
Int'l Symp. on Internet Technology, April 24 - 26, 1998,
Taipei, Taiwan, //internet98.csie.nctu.edu.tw )
