                          Call For Presentations

                                Workshop on
                      Distributed Object Computing for
                       Real-time and Embedded Systems

                          10th - 13th July 2006

                            Abstract deadline:
                          Friday 31st March 2006

                            Washington, DC USA

                                 Hosted by:

                                     OMG

Software standards for real-time and embedded systems must support
stringent resource, reliability, and timing requirements. The challenge is
particularly acute for middleware standards, which have to cope with
performance and reliability variations of the underlying infrastructure.
The Object Management Group (OMG) provides a widely-used set of standards
for this purpose, including the Data Distribution Service (DDS) middleware
standard, for the predictable distribution of real-time data with minimal
overhead, and the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), with
support for real-time scheduling, fault tolerance and resource-constrained
systems. OMG's Unified Modeling Language (UML) standard supports real-time
analysis and design, and its Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is used to
create applications from models.

Following the success of past real-time and embedded workshops, OMG is
hosting this workshop as a forum for standards users, researchers and
implementers to share their experiences. Presentations and discussions at
the workshop will also help shape future of OMG standards.

The workshop Programme Committee is seeking proposals for presentations of
experience reports, evaluations, case studies or research papers relevant
to:

  Real-time systems
  Embedded systems
  Fault-tolerant systems
  High-availability systems
  Safety-critical systems
  Robotics
  Software-defined radio systems
  Design tools for real-time distributed systems
  Information Assurance for embedded systems

Technologies relevant to this workshop include (but aren't limited to):

  Real-time middleware, including real-time CORBA
  Data Distribution Service (DDS)
  Real-time databases
  Real-time Java
  Real-time operating systems, including Real-time Linux
  Middleware for embedded and resource-constrained systems
  Architecture Frameworks, including MODAF, DODAF and TOGAF
  Modelling notations, including UML
  Model-Driven approaches, including MDA
  Design methods, including Agile methods
  Component platforms, including CCM
  Novel transport mechanisms
  High-level real-time programming models
  Service-oriented architectures (SOA)
  Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) architecture


Panels
------
Proposals for panel sessions in any of the above areas are also welcomed.


Tutorials
---------
Proposals are welcomed for half-day or full-day tutorials on established
techniques and standards in any of the areas touched on in this call.


Instructions
------------
Interested individuals or organisations are invited to submit a brief (up
to 600 word) abstract of their proposed workshop presentation by Friday
31st March 2006 using this web form:

http://www.omg.org/abstracts

The Programme Committee will select presentations for inclusion in the
programme and notify authors on Thursday 13th April 2006. Final
presentation materials will be required from all selected presenters by
Monday 19th June 2006.

The final workshop agenda and registration details will be available on
Tuesday 18th April 2006 and posted at:
