This is the fifth IEEE Computer Society symposium dealing with
the rapidly expanding field of object-oriented real-time distributed computing
(ORC) technology. The increased interest
in this area means that the symposium has outgrown the capacity of an
attendance-limited workshop. ISORC was
created with the goal of becoming an exemplary symposium series characterized
by a spirit of openness, where diverse views and new approaches can be freely
discussed.
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.
Papers pertaining to all aspects of ORC are sought, including
but not limited to the following:
·
Programming and system engineering: ORC paradigms, object models, languages, RT Corba, RT DCOM/.NET, RT RMI, RT Java, UML, application
programming interface (API), specification, design, verification, validation,
testing, maintenance, etc.
·
Distributed computing and communication
infrastructures: Internet QoS (quality of service), real-time communication,
networked computing platforms, protocols, inter-operability, security, 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
·
Applications: embedded systems (automotive,
avionics, consumer electronics, building systems, etc), multimedia processing,
Web-based applications, real-time object-oriented simulations
·
System evaluation: output accuracy,
timeliness, dependability, overhead
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.
The Program Committee will use the following guidelines in
evaluating the submitted papers and composing the technical program:
·
Papers presenting practical techniques,
ideas, or evaluations will be favored. Experience
reports or experimental developments 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.
SUBMISSION
GUIDELINES
Research
Papers
Papers should describe original work, and be 20 double-spaced
pages (6,000 words) or less in length.
Industry
papers
Industrial papers and practitioner reports, describing
experiences of using object-oriented technology in real-time application or
tool development projects, are an integral part of the technical program of
ISORC. A majority of them are expected
to be shorter and less formal than research papers. They should clearly identify, and discuss in
detail, the issues that represent the main contribution. 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 (about 5 double-spaced pages 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.
Submission
Option 1: Paper submission through FTP:
FTP site: dream.eng.uci.edu
Login ID: isorc02
Password: dream
After the login,
1. Change the directory
to "isorc2002", i.e.,
ftp>
cd isorc2002
Note: You do not have the "read"
privilege on this folder. Therefore, you
may get "Access denied", if you try to read the contents.
2. Name the file
containing the paper in the format of zzz-y-n.ext
where "zzz" and "y" are your last
name and first initial, respectively, "n" is a sequence number for an
author who submits multiple papers and "ext" is a file extension. For
example, a paper by John Doe in PDF format should be named as
doe-j-1.pdf.
3. Transfer your file in
the "binary" mode.
Authors should also send the following information to
isorc-admin@dream.eng.uci.edu by email:
·
Title of the paper and names of the
authors.
·
The name of the file deposited into
isorc2002.
·
Email address of the contact author.
·
An indication of whether the author prefers
the paper to be reviewed by the main PC or the industry program subcommittee.
Option 2: Paper submission through WWW:
1. Go to URL: http://dream.eng.uci.edu/isorc2002/submit.htm;
2. Click “Browse” button,
