Tenth IEEE Workshop on 
Real-Time Operating Systems and Software

CALL FOR PAPERS

May 13-14, 1993
New York, NY

This workshop is the tenth in a continuing series of IEEE-sponsored 
workshops on real time operating systems and software. 
The workshop has several goals:

	- to investigate advances in real-time operating systems, 
	  software, and programming environments; 			

	- to promote interaction among real-time computing researchers and 
	  practitioners;

	- to evaluate the maturity and directions of real-time system 
	  technology.

Workshop attendees will explore the best current ideas on real-time software 
and operating systems. Position papers describing new ideas, promising 
approaches, and work in progress are considered particularly appropriate.
Topics of the workshop include:

- Real-time operating systems and communication.
- Real-time programming, requirements, analysis, and specification.
- Real-time software systems.
- Real-time scheduling and resource management.
- Examples of current real-time systems with challenging time constraints.

Prospective attendees should send 8 copies of a 3-5 page position paper to 
the Program Chair by February 1, 1993. The position paper should focus on 
insights and lessons gained from recent research and practical experience in 
real-time operating systems and software. Complete details regarding the 
workshop will be sent to all participants along with acceptance letters by 
March 20, 1993. A digest of accepted position papers will be made available 
at the conference.

Subject: CFP: 1st IEEE RT Applications Workshop


Dear colleagues,

I would like to encourage you strongly to make a submission to the First
IEEE Workshop on Real-Time Applications, to take place in New York City on
May 12, 1993.  The Workshop is the first of its kind and is taking place in
conjunction with the annual IEEE Workshop on Real-Time Systems and Software.
The Workshop will serve as a forum for industrial, government and academic
researchers, practitioners and engineers who have been addressing practical
applications in any real-time application domain: astronomy, physical,
military, complex systems, energy, transportation, environmental,
petro-chemical, pharmaceutical, process control, telecommunications,
manufacturing, multi-media... to name just a few!  An older CFP (in
PostScript) is available using anonymous FTP from the IEEE-RTTC repository
at: cs.bu.edu (/IEEE-RTTC/ directory). The deadline has been extended to
February 1st, 1993.  Cases where proprietary and security issues need to be
addressed before an official submission may be allowed will be accommodated.
We are interested in receiving 1-5 page position papers that would clearly
specify the problem with respect to its application environment,
requirements and external process characteristics, possibly present the
solutions to the problem, and discuss unsolved problems.

The Workshop is supported by Honeywell, IEEE TC on Real-Time Systems, Office
of Naval Research, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Real-Time Computing Laboratory
at NJIT and the Institute for Systems Integration at NJIT.

Chair (General and Academia): Alexander D. Stoyenko, New Jersey Institute of
							Technology
Chair (Industry): Prabha Gopinath, Honeywell
Chair (Government): Felix Schwering, U.S. Army CECOM
Program Committee:  Paul Drongowski, Siemens
		    Wolfgang A. Halang, Fern University Hagen
		    Steve Howell, Naval Surface Warfare Center
		    Jiandong Huang, Honeywell
		    Harold W. Lawson, Lawson Publishing and Consulting
		    Ted G. Lewis, Oregon State University
		    Bruce Shriver, Consultant
		    Horst F. Wedde, Wayne State University
		    Lonnie R. Welch (local arrangements), NJIT
		    Daniel Wolfson, Sematech
		    Janusz Zalewski, Southwest Texas State University

Interested parties should submit a position paper to:

Alexander D. Stoyenko
