Scope
This is the 15th 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-oriented computing paradigm - which has
prevailed in many non real-time applications in the past decades - 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

Papers pertaining to all aspects of ORC are sought, including but not
limited to the following:

• Programming and system engineering: ORC paradigms, object/ component models, languages, RT CORBA, Embedded .NET, RT RMI, RT Java, UML, model-driven development of high integrity applications, specification, design, verification, validation, testing, maintenance, system of systems, etc.
• Distributed computing and communication infrastructures: Internet QoS (quality of service), real-time communication, networked computing platforms, protocols, peer-to-peer computing, sensor networks, inter-operability, security, trusted and dependable systems, 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, fault tolerance, security.
• Applications: embedded systems (automotive, avionics, consumer electronics, building systems, sensors, etc), multimedia processing, RT Web-based applications and use of XML, real-time object- oriented simulations.
• System evaluation: output accuracy, timeliness, worst- case execution time, dependability, end-to-end QoS, overhead, fault detection and recovery time.

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.

SYMPOSIUM SESSION FORMATS

Following the tradition of ISORC, the symposium program will consist
of sessions of different formats:

• presentations of regular and short papers,
• panel discussions, and
• special sessions devoted to reporting industrial advances

GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPTS

• Research Papers. Papers should describe original work and be 8 pages or less in length using the IEEE paper format. A maximum of two extra pages may be purchased.

• Papers presenting Industrial Advances. Industrial papers and practitioner reports, describing experiences of using ORC technology in application or tool development projects, are an integral part of the technical program of ISORC. A majority of these papers are expected to be shorter and less formal than research papers. They should clearly identify, and discuss in detail, the issues that represent notable industrial advances. Reports with project metrics supporting their claims are particularly sought, as well as those that show both benefits and drawbacks of the approaches used in the given project.

• Short Synopses. Short papers (5 pages or less using the IEEE format) on 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.

According to program committee guidelines, papers presenting practical
techniques, ideas, or evaluations will be favored. Papers reporting
experimentation results and industrial experiences are particularly
welcome. Originality will not be interpreted too narrowly.

Papers that are based on severely unrealistic assumptions will not be
accepted however mathematically or logically sophisticated the
discussion may be.

All accepted submissions will appear in the proceedings published by
IEEE.
A person will not be allowed to present more than 2 papers at the
symposium.
