Call for Participation: OMG's Real-time, Embedded and Enterprise-Scale Time-Critical Systems Workshop
Event will be part of OMG Standards for Mission Critical Systems Workshop;
May 24-26, 2010, Washington, D.C., USA

Needham, MA, USA - December 22, 2009 - OMG™ today issued a Call for Participation for the Eleventh Annual Real-time, Embedded and Enterprise-Scale Time-Critical Systems Workshop, to be held on May 24-26, 2010 in Arlington, VA, USA. The Workshop is part of the OMG Standards for Mission Critical Systems Workshop, alongside parallel events on Complex Event Processing and Cyber Security, which Real-time and Embedded Workshop participants are also invited to attend. For more information or to respond to the Call for Participation, please visit http://www.omg.org/rt2010. The submission deadline is February 1, 2010.

Stringent performance requirements are a feature of a broad range of computer applications, from enterprise-scale systems handling bookings and online financial transactions to compact systems embedded in software radios, cell phones, medical equipment and vehicles of all kinds. However, whether their code is running on enterprise servers or embedded within devices, the designers of these mission-critical, time-critical systems share many challenges, and address them using similar design approaches.

The Real-time, Embedded and Enterprise-Scale Time-Critical Systems Workshop provides a forum for software engineers and researchers in this rapidly expanding field to learn about new design approaches, share their experiences, and find out about emerging standards.

About OMG
OMG is an international, open membership, not-for-profit computer industry consortium that in 2009 is celebrating its 20^th 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.
