ISORC 2002 The 5th IEEE International Symposium on Object-oriented Real-time distributed Computing April 29 - May 1, 2002, Crystal City, VA - USA Sponsor: IEEE TC on Distributed Processing Co-operating sponsors: OMG, IFIP WG 104 SCOPE 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 * Software engineering: * 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, and select the file in your local machine containing the paper to be submitted; 3. 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. 4. Click “Submit” button, then the paper is submitted; Note: You can reset the edit box by clicking “Reset” button; 5. 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.
