IEEE ISORC 2018

CALL FOR PAPERS

Singapore

Dates: 29th & 30th May (9:00AM-6:00PM), 31st May (9:00AM-1:00PM).

Important dates:

Submission deadline: February 2, 2018

Acceptance notification: March 16, 2018

Camera-ready papers: March 31, 2018

The best papers from ISORC 2018 will be invited for submission to the ISORC special issue of a suitable IEEE / ACM Journal.

Main theme and topics:

• Cloud infrastructures and platforms for time-sensitive computation and real-time computing

• Algorithms and Computational Infrastructure to support complex social cyber-physical systems  combining edge, fog, and cloud

• ISORC has become established as the leading event devoted to state-of-the-art research in the field of object/component/service-oriented real-time distributed computing (ORC) technology. The conference theme for 2018 will be decentralized time-sensitive computing and enabling software infrastructures.  This theme will focus on both:

We solicit high-quality papers pertaining  to all aspects of ORC technology and especially those that are well aligned with the 2017 theme. Authors are encouraged to consider submissions with a practical orientation and validation related to Case Studies & Applications in this area. The specific ORC focus areas include,  but are not limited to:

• Programming and system engineering: real-time programming challenges, ORC paradigms, object/component models, languages, synchronous languages.

• Embedded distribution middleware middleware such as .NET, RT RMI, RT Java, UML, model-maintenance, system of systems, time-predictable systems and hardware.

• Distributed computing and communication infrastructures: real-time communication, networked platforms, protocols, Internet QoS, peer-to-peer computing, sensor networks, VANETS and V2V and V2I communication, trusted and dependable systems.

• Algorithms for Real Time Analytics: clustering and classification approaches, stream processing algorithms, real time decision tree generation and update, real time machine learning, statistical approaches. Approaches related to stream correlation and sampling.

• System software: real-time kernels and OS, middleware support for ORC, QoS management, extensibility, synchronization, resource allocation, scheduling, fault tolerance, security.

• Real-time algorithms and infrastructure support for decentralized architectures including distributed ledgers with a focus on scalability and resilience.

• Applications: Medical devices, intelligent transportation systems, Industrial automation systems and Industry 4.0, Internet of Things and Smart Grids, Embedded systems (automotive, avionics, consumer electronics, building systems, sensors, etc), multimedia processing, RT Web-based applications.

• System evaluation: performance analysis, monitoring & timing, dependability, end-to-end QoS, overhead, fault detection and recovery time.

• Cyber-physical and Cyber-social systems (e.g. social media analytics)

Submission guidelines:

IEEE ISORC 2018 invites papers in three categories. Submission guidelines for each category of paper are as follows:

1. Regular Research Papers: Papers should describe original work and be maximum 8 pages in length using the IEEE paper format. A maximum of two extra pages may be purchased.

2. Industrial Papers and Practitioner Reports: Papers describing experiences of using ORC technology in application or tool development projects, are an integral part of the technical program of ISORC. A majority of these papers are expected to be shorter and less formal than research papers. They should clearly identify and discuss in detail the issues that represent notable industrial advances. Reports with project metrics supporting their claims are particularly sought, as well as those that show both benefits and drawbacks of the approaches used in the given project.

1. Short Papers: Short research papers, 4 pages or less using the IEEE format, on real-time analytics are also invited, and should contain enough information for the program committee to understand the scope of the project and evaluate the novelty of the problem or approach.

According to program committee guidelines, papers presenting practical techniques, ideas, or evaluations will be favored. Papers reporting experimentation results and industrial experiences are particularly welcome. Originality will not be interpreted too narrowly. Papers that are based on severely unrealistic assumptions will not be accepted however mathematically or logically sophisticated the discussion may be.

Publication information:

Papers are to be submitted through the EasyChair system.

All accepted submissions will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE. A person will not be allowed to present more than 2 papers at the symposium.
