ISORC '99

May 2 - 5, 1999,  Saint Malo, France

IFIP WG 10.4, OMG,INRIA 

---

The main technical theme of the ISORC is how to extend the well established object-oriented computing technology, i.e., the technology that has prevailed the non-real-time business data processing field in the past decade, into the technologies that are effectively applicable to various classes of real-time applications.

Papers in all aspects of object-oriented real-time distributed computing are sought, including but not limited to the following aspects:

• New ORC paradigms
• Object models
• Requirements engineering
• System (incl. communication), hardware, and software architectures (real-time CORBA, DCOM, etc.)
• Specification and design
• Languages and tools for structuring real-time objects
• Highly Dependable ORC, including fault-tolerant and secure ORC
• Resource allocation
• Operating system support for ORC and real-time object request brokers
• Database architecture for ORC
• Real-time simulation
• Testing, verification, and evaluation of system properties, including output accuracy, timeliness, dependability, etc.
• System/software engineering methodology
• Multimedia processing and WAN communication applications
• Application areas such as embedded systems (automobile, avionics, consumer electronics), business and industrial applications, etc.

The following guidelines will be used by the Program Committee (PC) in evaluating the submitted papers and composing the technical program.

• Papers presenting practical techniques, ideas, or evaluations will be favored.  Papers reporting practical experiences or experimental developments are particularly welcome.
• Papers completely lacking originality will not be acceptable. However, for the papers reporting experiences or experiments, the originality will not be interpreted narrowly.  For example, new evidences leading to a conclusion similar to the conclusion that was supported by different evidences earlier in literature, will still be given serious considerations as long as clear references to the earlier works are given.
• Papers that are based on exceedingly unrealistic assumptions will not be accepted however mathematically or logically sophisticated the discussion may be.
• Papers which do not clearly show direct or indirect relationship to the technological area of ORC will not be acceptable.

Papers should describe original work, and be 20 double-spaced pages (5,000 words) or less in length.  Short synopses (3 double- spaced pages or less 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.

Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically, and also email the abstract and the full addresses of the author(s) in ASCII format before November 30, 1998.

For submission of the full paper, only the electronic documents in

• the Microsoft WORD document file format,
• the PDF format,  or
• the Postscript format are acceptable.

All submissions must be sent to :

The authors will receive acceptance/rejection notices via email during January 23-30, 1999 and in case of acceptance, the authors will be required to revise their papers based on the reviewers' comments and submit their final camera-ready papers by February 21, 1999.
