The Object Management Group (OMG) is soliciting papers for its “Workshop on Distributed Object Computing for Real-time and Embedded Systems,” July 10-13, 2006, in Washington, DC. Suggested topics include real-time Linux, DDS (data distribution service), CORBA (common object request broker architecture), UML (unified modeling language), and MDA (model driven architecture).

The OMG is an industry group that maintains a variety of standards. It describes its Workshop event as a “forum for standards users, researchers, and implementers to share their experiences.”

OMG Workshop organizers are currently seeking reports, evaluations, case studies, and research papers for presentations, half- and full-day tutorials, and panel discussions. Suggested topics include:

• 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 the workshop include:

• 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
• Modeling 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

Speaker abstracts should be 600 words or less. They can be submitted using an online form, and are due March 31.

Selected presenters will be notified on Thursday, April 13, and the final workshop agenda, along with registration details, will be published on Tuesday, April 18, here.
