Subject: CfP: Real-time and Embedded Workshop
Duncan, Andy,
We're starting work on organising this year's OMG Real-time and Embedded
workshop - I've attached the CfP, and it should soon also be available at:
http://www.omg.org/news/meetings/realtime2002/index.htm
Last year we had two days of tutorials on RT CORBA implementation (from
Doug Schmidt), realtime UML and related topics, followed by two days of
short position papers, including a day of experience reports on embedded
CORBA in nuclear submarines, pick-and-place machines, Harrier jets and
bottling plants (amongst others). And of course I'm aiming to make this
year's workshop better than last year's :-).
Are there are any OmniORB mailing lists or web pages where you could place
the CfP for me?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Andrew

Call For Presentations
July 2002 Workshop on
Real-time and Embedded
Distributed Object Computing
15th - 18th July 2002
(Abstract deadline: 22nd March)
Location TBA
Washington, DC. USA
Hosted by the
Object Management Group
Exclusive Sponsor:
DARPA ITO
Introduction
To achieve widespread use of real-time and embedded computer applications,
standards for software design, development, and interoperability must
accommodate the unique requirements of these systems, for example in the
areas of predictability, resource minimization (including memory),
reliability, and support for customized hardware environments. The
challenge of addressing these requirements is particularly acute for
middleware standards, which must account for the performance and
reliability variations introduced by the underlying network or
inter-processor communication scheme.
The Object Management Group (OMG) is a leader in bringing the benefits of
standards-based distributed object computing to developers of real-time
and embedded applications. The OMG Common Object Request Broker
Architecture (CORBA) middleware standard has been augmented over the past
several years to include both real-time extensions (Real-Time CORBA 1.0)
and a standard profile for resource-constrained systems (MinimumCORBA).
These specifications were implemented quickly and are now being deployed
in many application domains, including defense, aerospace,
telecommunications, medical, process control, on-line trading, and
interactive simulation. The OMG is now working on additional extensions to
CORBA that will allow its use in applications with even more stringent
real-time performance requirements and fewer resources. Real-time
extensions are also being defined for the OMG Unified Modeling Language
(UML).
Building on the success of the past two years real-time and embedded
workshops, the OMG is hosting the July 2002 Workshop on Real-Time and
Embedded Distributed Object Computing as a forum for standards users,
researchers, and implementers to exchange knowledge, experience, plans,
and requirements. Presentations and discussions at the workshop will also
help shape future CORBA and UML standards.
The workshop is open to all with an interest in some combination of
real-time and embedded applications, services, tools and methodologies.
The program will consist of two days of tutorials on CORBA and Real-Time
CORBA that will summarize progress-to-date on standards and products,
followed by two days of sessions describing case studies of fielded, or
emerging, real-time and embedded distributed object-based systems. In
addition, research and advanced product development activities will be
reported during the latter two days of the workshop.
The workshop Program Committee is seeking proposals for presentations or
panels addressing any of the following topics:
Real-Time/Embedded CORBA Case Studies
In this workshop, we want a strong focus on the application of CORBA
products and concepts to actual real-time and embedded systems. Therefore,
we particularly encourage proposals for short case study reviews of:
* Applying CORBA in contemporary real-time and embedded systems, spanning
military, aerospace, telecommunications, process control, financial,
medical, and scientific domains.
* Integrating CORBA with legacy real-time and embedded systems.
* Experience with Real-Time and Minimum CORBA interoperability and
performance.
* Using higher-level tools or formal design methodologies, such as UML and
the emerging OMG MDA, for real-time systems.
Real-Time/Embedded CORBA Specifications and Standards
* The Real-Time CORBA 2.0: Dynamic Scheduling specification, and
implementations thereof.
* Subsetting CORBA Object Services for real-time and embedded systems.
* Related standardization efforts, such as RT DII COE.
* Real-Time CORBA 1.0 enhancements.
Real-Time/Embedded Product Issues
* Efficiency, predictability, and scalability for mission-critical
systems.
* Real-Time or Quality of Service (QoS) issues in embedded middleware.
* Profiling, profiles, and services.
* Testing and evaluation of real-time and embedded middleware.
Real-Time/Embedded Advanced R&D Topics
* Advanced scheduling paradigms and higher-level real-time programming
models.
* Transport approaches to end-to-end QoS.
* Multi-layer ORB end system resource management.
* Power-aware and reflective ORB middleware for wide-area mobile systems.
* Integrating Real-Time Java, Real-Time CORBA, and Real-Time Linux.
* Next-generation object models and CORBA services.
* Fault-tolerance issues in real-time and embedded systems.
* Combining multiple QoS properties in real-time and embedded systems.

Instructions
Interested individuals or organizations are invited to submit a brief (one
printed page of 60-80 character email lines of text) abstract of the
presentation/position they are proposing for the workshop by Friday 22nd
March 2002. This abstract should be submitted via email to rtws@omg.org.
All authors of position papers will be invited to attend and participate
in the workshop; the Program Committee will select position papers for
presentation and notify their authors by Tuesday 9th April 2002. Final
presentation materials will be required from all selected presenters by
Monday 10th June 2002, in advance of the workshop.
The final workshop agenda and registration details will be available by
Wednesday 17th April and posted at:
