OMG WORKSHOP ON DISTRIBUTED OBJECT COMPUTING

Call For Presentations

The Object Management Group (OMG) announces the Call for Presentations for its annual workshop on Grid Distributed Object Computing for Real-time and Embedded Systems.

This four-day event will be held in Washington, DC, USA on 14th - 17th July 2003.

Proposals for short workshop presentations or panels on any of the following topics are invited by Friday 7th March 2003:

  • Case studies of deployed Real-time and Embedded CORBA-based systems Including (but not limited to) case studies of:

    • Applying CORBA in any real-time or embedded system
    • High-confidence, high-availability or mission-critical CORBA applications
    • Integrating CORBA with legacy real-time and embedded systems
    • Real-Time, Fault Tolerant or Minimum CORBA interoperability and performance
    • Security considerations in real-time or embedded CORBA deployments
    • Design and modeling of Real-time, embedded and mission-critical systems

  • Reports on the application of high-level tools and formal design methods such as UML and Model Driven Architecture (MDA) to real-time, embedded and high-availability systems.

  • Real-Time & Embedded Specifications and Standards Experience reports from developers implementing real-time and embedded specifications and standards, including:

    • Real-Time CORBA (with either static or dynamic scheduling)
    • Real-Time and embedded CORBA Services
    • Fault-tolerant CORBA
    • UML for real-time and embedded systems
    • US Navy Open Architecture
    • Software Communications Architecture (SCA) and other software-defined radio standards
    • Real-Time & Embedded Product Issues

  • Reports from users of real-time and embedded products and tools, including:

    • Efficiency, predictability, and scalability for mission-critical systems
    • Real-Time or Quality of Service (QoS) issues in embedded middleware
    • Profiling, profiles, and services
    • Evaluation of real-time, high confidence, and embedded middleware

  • Real-Time and Embedded Advanced R&D Topics Research reports on relevant topics, such as:

    • Advanced scheduling techniques and high-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
    • High-performance or novel transport layers for real-time applications

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 organizations are invited to submit a brief (up to 600 word) abstract of their proposed workshop presentation via email by Friday 7th March 2003: rtws@omg.org.

About The OMG

With well-established standards covering software from design and development, through deployment and maintenance, and extending to evolution to future platforms, the Object Management Group (OMG) supports a full-lifecycle approach to enterprise integration which maximizes ROI, the key to successful IT.

Based on the Model Driven Architecture (MDA), OMG's standards cover multiple operating systems, programming languages, middleware and networking infrastructures, and software development environments. OMG's Modeling standards, the basis for the MDA, include the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM).

CORBA, the Common Object Request Broker Architecture, is OMG's standard open platform with hundreds of millions of deployments running today. OMG's well-established CORBAservices and industry-specific standards are being re-issued under the MDA in many popular middleware environments. OMG domain (industry-specific) standards cover vertical markets including healthcare, telecommunications, biotechnology, transportation and a dozen other areas.

The OMG is headquartered in Needham, MA, USA, with a U.S. government representative in Washington, DC, and international marketing offices in Japan, the UK, and Germany.

The Object Management Group is an international, open membership, not-for-profit computer industry specifications consortium. OMG member companies write, adopt, and maintain the organization's standards following a mature, open process.

For information on joining the OMG, or questions not addressed on the website, please contact OMG headquarters by email at: info@omg.org, or 781-444 0404.
