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.
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 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. DEADLINE November 27, 2001 Symposium Co-Chairs: Ray Paul
Program Committee Co-Chairs: Luiz Bacellar
