CALL FOR PAPERS

Sixth International Workshop on
Object-oriented Real-time Dependable Systems

January 8-10, 2001
Roma, Italy

THEME

This workshop, which is the sixth in the highly successful WORDS series, continues its theme in integrating three computer system engineering technologies (CSETs): Object-oriented CSET, Real-time CSET, and Dependable CSET. For inclusion in the workshop program, contributions that present significant advances in integrating any two of these three technology fields are invited. Industrial applications such as multimedia interactive services that include such integrations are also encouraged. The workshop is intended to be a forum for exchange of newly recognized research issues, advanced promising formulations, and research progress reports. These may be of a conceptual, theoretical, innovative design or experimental nature, and should represent technological or scientific 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 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:

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Position papers are solicited from potential participants of this workshop. Papers must be written in English and printed using at least 11-point type and 1-1/2 line spacing.
(1) Papers presenting research results, of 5-15 pages in length, including figures.
(2) Papers presenting position statements, of 3-5 pages in length, from potential participants, who prefer to serve as panelists or commentators.

Authors are requested to submit an electronic version of their manuscripts before September 23rd, 2000 to the following URL: http://www.delet.ufrgs.br/~words2001

Authors will be notified of the program committee decision by October 23rd. The revised copy for inclusion in the preliminary proceedings (not to be treated as an official publication but rather as a collection of working papers) to be distributed at the workshop will be due November 23rd. The final camera-ready copy for WORDS'01 proceedings will be due 3 weeks after the workshop and it will be published by IEEE.
