Save the Date: OMG's Workshop on Distributed Object Computing for
Real-time and Embedded Systems
July 13-15, 2009, Washington, D.C., USA

Needham, MA, USA - May 6, 2009 - OMG™ today announced its Tenth Annual Workshop on Distributed Object Computing for Real-time and Embedded Systems, to be held July 13-15, 2009 in Washington, D.C., USA. This workshop will be co-located with other OMG workshops and special interest sessions including Government DTF Workshop; High Assurance Security; Green Computing and Cloud Computing. For more information on the Real-time & Embedded workshop, please visit http://www.omg.org/rte.

The OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) Standard is a strong theme in this year's OMG Real-time & Embedded Systems workshop, with many presentations that touch on different aspects of this increasingly influential real-time middleware specification. The growing need to integrate embedded systems with enterprise-scale computing is covered, with talks on the mechanics of linking real-time & embedded technology to the Java Messaging Service, web-based clients and XML-based Enterprise middleware. Other papers focus on High-Assurance systems and the rapidly evolving field of real-time & embedded application configuration management.

The program opens with a day of in-depth tutorials from industry experts on using DDS and the UML® modeling of real-time and embedded systems. Attendees can look forward to an intense three-day learning experience, both from the formal tutorials and the two-day-long program of presentations from practical engineers working at the forefront of the rapidly-moving world of distributed real-time and embedded systems.

The workshop will feature presenters from organizations such as Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique-CEA/LIST; Naval Surface Warfare Center; PrismTech; Raytheon IDS Seapower Capability Center; Real-Time Innovations; Software Engineering Institute - CMU; Sogeti USA LLC; Sparx Systems; Thales Land & Joint Systems; Twin Oaks Computing; University of Granada, Spain; University of Rome "Sapienza"; and Vanderbilt University.

The early-bird registration discount is available until June 15, 2009. The hotel registration cut-off is June 26, 2009. Hotel and registration information is available at http://www.omg.org/rte. The OMG invites everyone interested in distributed, real-time and embedded systems to attend.

About OMG
OMG is an international, open membership, not-for-profit computer industry consortium that in 2009 is celebrating its 20th Anniversary. OMG Task Forces develop enterprise integration standards for a wide range of technologies, including: Real-time, Embedded and Specialized Systems, Analysis & Design, Architecture-Driven Modernization and Middleware and an even wider range of industries, including: Business Modeling and Integration, C4I, Finance, Government, Green Computing, Healthcare, Insurance, Legal Compliance, Life Sciences Research, Manufacturing Technology, Robotics, Software-Based Communications 
and Space.

OMG’s modeling standards, including the Unified Modeling Language™ (UML®) and Model Driven Architecture® (MDA®), enable powerful visual design, execution and maintenance of software and other processes, including IT Systems Modeling and Business Process Management. OMG’s middleware standards and profiles are based on the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA®) and support a wide variety of industries.
