Call for Papers

Important Dates:     Paper Submissions:             30 November 2007
                     Acceptance Notification:       10 January 2008
                     Camera-Ready Papers:           1 February 2008
SCOPE 

This is the eleventh IEEE Computer Society symposium dealing with the
rapidly expanding field of object/component/service-oriented real-time
distributed computing (ORC) technology. The principal theme of ISORC
is the use of the object-oriented computing paradigm - which has
prevailed in many non-real-time applications in the past decade - in a
wide variety of real- time applications. In the ISORC series, this
paradigm emphasizes its spirit of openness where diverse views and new
approaches to challenging issues can be freely discussed.

TOPICS OF INTEREST 

Papers pertaining to all aspects of ORC are sought, including but not
limited to the following:

Programming and system engineering: ORC paradigms, object/component models,
languages, RT Corba, Embedded .NET, RT RMI, RT Java, UML, model-driven
development of high integrity applications, specification, design,
verification, validation, testing, maintenance, system of systems, etc.

Distributed computing and communication infrastructures:
Internet QoS (quality of service), real-time communication, networked
computing platforms, protocols, peer-to-peer computing, sensor networks,
inter-operability, security, trusted and dependable systems, fault
tolerance, virtual subnets for ORC.

System software: real-time kernels and operating systems, middleware
support for ORC, QoS management, extensibility, synchronization, resource
allocation, scheduling, fault tolerance, security.

Applications: embedded systems (automotive, avionics, consumer electronics,
building systems, sensors, etc), multimedia processing, RT Web-based
applications and use of XML, real-time object-oriented simulations.

System evaluation: output accuracy, timeliness, worst-case execution time,
dependability, end-to-end QoS, overhead, fault detection and recovery time.

Papers dealing with other issues that are related to the specification,
design, implementation, and evaluation of ORC systems are also welcome. To
promote dialogues between researchers and users of ORC, contributions from
industry are particularly welcome.

CONFERENCE SESSION FORMATS 

Following the tradition of ISORC, the conference program will consist of
sessions of different formats: 

*	presentations of regular and short papers,  
*	panel discussions, and 
*	special sessions devoted to reporting industrial advances 

GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPTS 

Research Papers. Papers should describe original work and be 8 pages or
less in length using the IEEE paper format.

Papers presenting Industrial Advances. Industrial papers and practitioner
reports, describing experiences of using ORC technology in application or
tool development projects, are an integral part of the technical program of
ISORC. A majority of these papers are expected to be shorter and less
formal than research papers. They should clearly identify, and discuss in
detail, the issues that represent notable industrial advances. Reports with
project metrics supporting their claims are particularly sought, as well as
those that show both benefits and drawbacks of the approaches used in the
given project.

Short Synopses. Short papers (5 pages or less using the IEEE format) on
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. 

According to program committee guidelines, papers presenting practical
techniques, ideas, or evaluations will be favored. Papers reporting
experimentation results and industrial experiences are particularly
welcome. Originality will not be interpreted too narrowly.

Papers that are based on severely unrealistic assumptions will not be
accepted however mathematically or logically sophisticated the discussion
may be.

All accepted submissions will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE.
A person will not be allowed to present more than 2 papers at the symposium.

** Selected papers will also be invited to submit extended versions to a
special issue of the International Journal of  Computer Systems Science &
Engineering **

PAPER SUBMISSION 

Papers should be formatted using the IEEE
<http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html>  Computer
Society format.  Authors should indicate whether the submitted paper is  a
research paper or in the category of industrial advances.  Please submit
your paper in portable postscript or pdf format (all uncommon fonts
embedded). 

Papers can be submitted at:  http://isorc08.cs.virginia.edu
