Call for Participation: OMG's Second Annual Software-Based Communications Workshop: Expanding the Vision; August 15-18, 2005; San Diego, CA

Posted on: Monday, 11 April 2005, 12:00 CDT

The Object Management Group(TM) (OMG(TM)), a software consortium responsible for establishing distributed computing specifications, today announced a call for participation for its Software-Based Communications (SBC) Workshop: Expanding the Vision. The workshop, sponsored by Boeing (www.boeing.com), will take place August 15-18, 2005 in San Diego, CA, USA. The call for participation runs until April 25, 2005. All workshop and call details are available at http://www.omg.org/sbc05.

Since OMG began SBC standardization efforts to support software application portability and interoperability for software-defined radios (SDR), the technology has matured. SBC applicability is growing to address a wide range of application areas including automotive, public safety, global tracking, consumer electronics and cellular network infrastructure. In response to this growth, OMG is advancing to a broader vision encompassing these new applications. In this context, the workshop Program Committee is seeking proposals for presentations of experience reports, evaluations, case studies or research papers on topics relevant to (but not limited to):

-- Patterns and design for communications hardware/software

-- Applying Model Driven Architecture(R) (MDA(R)) to Software-based Communications

-- Software Frameworks, Architectures, Platforms and PSMs

-- Experience reports, case studies and best practices

-- Products and Tools

-- SBC Standards (OMG, OBSAI, CPRI, and 3GPP)

-- Real-time modeling

-- Real-time component-based architectures

-- Hardware / software co-design

-- Synergy between the underlying physical architecture and the software architecture on the context of design impacts and constraints

-- Project Management

-- SBC State of the Art

-- High Capacity (Bandwidth & Frequency) Mobile Datalinks

-- Data Communication Networks

-- Waveforms (GSM, WCDMA)

-- Value add IP Networks

-- Radio Base Stations

-- Certification

-- Security

-- Using Software-based communications to enable the Global Information Grid

-- Future Directions

-- Instructions

In addition, proposals for panel sessions in any of the above areas are also welcomed. Proposals are welcomed for half-day tutorials on established techniques and standards in any of the areas touched on in this call.

Interested individuals or organizations are invited to submit a brief (up to 600 word) abstract of their proposed workshop presentation by April 25, 2005 using this web form: http://www.omg.org/abstracts.

The Program Committee will select presentations for inclusion in the program and notify authors by Friday, April 29, 2005. Final presentation materials will be required from all selected presenters by Monday, August 1, 2005. The final workshop agenda and registration details will be available by Wednesday, May 4, 2005 and posted at http://www.omg.org/sbc05.

About The OMG

With well-established standards covering software from design and development, through deployment and maintenance, and extending to evolution to future platforms, the Object Management Group (OMG) supports a full-lifecycle approach to enterprise integration which maximizes ROI, the key to successful IT. OMG's Modeling standards, the basis for the MDA(R), include the Unified Modeling Language(TM) (UML(R)) and Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM(TM)). CORBA, the Common Object Request Broker Architecture, is OMG's standard open platform with hundreds of millions of deployments running today. Headquartered in Needham, MA, USA, the Object Management Group is an international, open membership, not-for-profit computer industry specifications consortium.
