WORNUS 2011 - WORNUS 2011: 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Object/component/service-oriented Real-time Networked Ultra-dependable Systems

WORNUS 2011 focuses on integrating three Computer System Engineering Technologies (CSETs): object-oriented CSET, real-time CSET, and ultra-dependable CSET. For inclusion in the workshop program, contributions that present significant advances in integrating any two of these three technology fields are invited. The submission of reports on industrial applications, such as multimedia and interactive services that include such integrations are also encouraged. The workshop is intended to be a forum for the exchange of newly recognized research issues, advanced promising formulations, and research progress reports. These may be of a conceptual, theoretical, innovative design or of experimental nature, and should represent technological or scientic advances. The workshop will have a limited number of participants, around 50, of whom about half will be invited participants.

Topics of Interest
Topics, as they that relate to at least two of the three CSET's (object-oriented CSET, real-time CSET, and dependable CSET) are of interest to the workshop. Some example topics are:

- Object-oriented real-time system requirement specifications
- Integration of time into formal object models
- Tools for structuring real-time objects
- OS support for object-oriented systems with real-time or dependability requirements
- Quality of Service for real-time and fault-tolerant systems
- Application of agent technology to dependable systems
- System resource allocation for real-time or dependable objects
- Testing and evaluation of temporal and dependability properties
- Database architectures for real-time or dependable services
- Multimedia and network-aware applications over programmable network infrastructures
- Techniques for timing analysis of dependable or object-oriented systems
- Object-oriented real-time simulations
- Developing benchmarks for real-time dependable systems
- Dependable real-time information retrieval
- Real-time dependable middleware (Real-time CORBA, Fault-tolerant Java RMI, etc.)
- Object technologies and transaction models for mobile computing

Paper Submission
Papers can be up to 10 pages and should be formatted using the IEEE Computer Society format. Authors are requested to submit a PDF version (with all uncommon fonts embedded) to the following address: https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=wornus201....

Authors will be notified of the program committee decision as shown in the time scheduled below. A revised copy of the paper for inclusion in the preliminary proceedings (a collection of working papers, not to be treated as an offcial publication but rather as a collection of working papers) will be distributed at the workshop. The nal camera-ready copy version of the paper will be published by the IEEE in the official for WORNUS 2011 proceedings. The camera-ready version will be due about 3 weeks after the workshop.

The WORNUS 2011 proceedings will be published by the IEEE.

Important Dates
Submission deadline: 8 November 2010
Acceptance Notification: 11 December 2010
Camera-Ready Papers: 14 January 2011
Conference Dates: 28 March 2011

NOTE: If a paper is co-authored by a university faculty member and a student, the paper must be presented by the faculty member. This is for developing a tradition for WORNUS to be a forum for spirited technical exchanges between today's leading researchers in object-oriented real-time dependable computing.
