The Object Management Group (OMG) has issued a call for presentations for its workshop on software standards for real-time systems, set for July 11-14, 2005, in Washington, DC. The workshop, entitled “Distributed Object Computing for Real-time and Embedded Systems,” will allow standards users, researchers, and implementers to share experiences.

According to the OMG, the workshop is seeking presenters to deliver “experience reports, evaluations, case studies or research papers” on topics such as:

• Real-time systems
• Embedded systems
• Fault-tolerant systems
• High-availability systems
• Safety-critical systems
• Software-defined radio systems
• Embedded secure systems

Relevant technologies include (but are not limited to):

• Real-time middleware, including real-time CORBA
  
• Real-time Java
  
• Real-time operating systems, including Real-time Linux
  
• Middleware for embedded and resource-constrained systems
  
• Modeling notations (including Unified Modeling Language (UML)
  
• Model-Driven approaches, including MDA
  
• Design methods (including Agile methods)
  
• Component platforms (including the CORBA Component Model)
  
• Novel transport mechanisms
  
• High-level real-time programming models
  
• Service-oriented architectures Multiple Independent Levels of
  Security (MILS) architecture

Additionally, the workshop is soliciting suggestions for half-day and full-day panel discussions related to the topics above.

Prospective presenters are invited to submit abstracts up to 600 words in length, prior to February 25, using an online form.
