SCOPE

This is the ninth IEEE Computer Society symposium dealing with the rapidly expanding field of object-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 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, worst-case execution time, 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. 
 

CONFERENCE SESSION FORMATS

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

  • presentations of regular and short papers,
  • a number of panel discussions, and
  • sessions with presentations via remote video-conferencing (net-meeting presentations). The latter, new presentation format shall give a limited number of people from industry who would otherwise not be able to attend the conference the opportunity to participate in the event.


GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPTS

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.

The conference will feature one or two sessions of remote video-conferencing presentations (see section on conference format). Authors of industrial papers who will not be able to present their papers in person may choose to present their paper remotely (the registration fee for remote presentations will be higher than for normal presentations). Please indicate that you would need to present your paper remotely when submitting your paper.

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. 
 

PAPER SUBMISSION

Please submit your paper in portable postscript or pdf format (all uncommon fonts embedded) by email to

isorc2006@rtselab.org


PAPER EVALUATION GUIDELINES FOR PROGRAM COMMITTEE

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.


IMPORTANT DATES

Deadline for submission of papers December 9, 2005
Notification of acceptance January 25, 2006
Camera-ready papers due February 12, 2006
Conference April 24-26, 2006
