This is the tenth IEEE Computer Society symposium dealing with the rapidly
expanding field of object/component/service-oriented real-time distributed
computing (ORC) technology. The principal theme of ISORC is the use of
the object, component, and service-oriented computing paradigms - 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 include all aspects of ORC,
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.
Following the tradition of ISORC, the conference program will consist of
sessions of different formats:
-
Presentations of
regular and short papers
-
Panel discussion
-
Keynote
presentation
-
Sessions with
presentations via remote video-conferencing.
This new presentation format shall give a limited number of people
from industry that would otherwise not be able to attend the conference the
opportunity to participate in the event.
