</p>
<p>Dear researcher/colleague, </p>
<p>please, consider publishing your latest research by submitting a
paper, demo or poster to the <i>23rd IEEE International Symposium
on Real-Time Distributed Computing</i> (ISORC) conference, to be
held in Nashville, Tennessee (USA), on May 19-21 2020. The
official ISORC 2020 call for papers is included below. Feel free
to forward this message to potentially interested colleagues, and
please accept our apologies should you receive this message
multiple times.</p>
<b>IEEE ISORC 2020 - CALL FOR PAPERS - <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://isorc.github.io/2020/">https://isorc.github.io/2020/</a></b><br>
<i>The 23rd IEEE International Symposium on Real-Time Distributed
Computing</i><br>
Nashville, Tennessee, USA, May 19-21, 2020<br>
<u><i>Main Track Papers Submission Deadline extended to: Friday, Jan
24th 2020 AOE (FIRM, No further extensions)</i></u><br>
<br>
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. In addition to the main conference, ISORC 2020
will host a special session dedicated to posters and demos, where
participants will be able to show prototypes, tools, simulators and
systems, which demonstrate the applicability of real-time computing
to different applications.<br>
<br>
This year, ISORC will improve the peer-reviewing process introducing
<i>double-blind submissions</i> and a <i>rebuttal</i> phase, where
authors will have a chance to shortly reply to the reviewers' major
objections before the final acceptance decision is taken. <i>Best
Paper</i><i> and </i><i>Student Paper Awards</i> will be
delivered during the conference.<br>
<br>
Best papers from ISORC 2020 will be invited for submission to a <i>Special
Issue of the Elsevier Journal of Systems Architecture (JSA)</i>.<br>
<br>
IEEE ISORC 2020 welcomes contributions on topics that include, but
are not limited, to:<br>
<ul>
<li><i>Software architectures</i> for real-time distributing
computing: programming paradigms, ORC paradigms,
object/component models, languages, synchronous languages.</li>
<li><i>Distributed computing and communication infrastructures</i>:
real-time communications, networked platforms, protocols,
Internet QoS, peer-to-peer computing, sensor networks, VANETS
and V2V and V2I communications, time-predictable systems and
hardware, trusted and dependable systems, complex systems of
systems, model maintenance.</li>
<li><i>Algorithms for real-time analytics</i>: real-time stream
processing solutions including clustering, classification,
mining and inferencing, machine and deep learning, statistical
modeling, stream correlation and sampling.</li>
<li><i>System software</i>: real-time kernels, operating systems,
virtualization/container mechanisms and distribution middleware
for ORC, supporting QoS management and performance,
decentralized processing and scalability, extensibility,
synchronization, resource allocation, scheduling, energy
efficiency, timing analysis, fault tolerance and resilience,
security.</li>
<li><i>Applications</i>: medical devices, intelligent
transportation systems, industrial automation systems and
Industry 4.0, Internet of Things and Smart Grids, embedded and
cyber-physical systems (automotive, avionics, autonomous
vehicles, mobile devices, consumer electronics, building
systems, sensors, etc), multimedia processing, RT Web-based
Applications, QoS-Aware and real-time Cloud/Edge/Fog Computing,
real-time packet processing for future networking
infrastructures and Network Function Virtualization (NFV),
