Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program: Draft NITRD 2010 Strategic Plan

This is the fourteenth IEEE Computer Society symposium dealing with the rapidly expanding field of object/component/service-oriented real-time distributed computing (ORC) technology. The principal theme of ISORC is the use of the object-, component-, and service-oriented computing paradigms - which have prevailed in many non-real-time applications in the past decade - in a wide variety of real-time applications. In the ISORC series, these paradigms emphasize the spirit of openness where diverse views and new approaches to challenging issues can be freely discussed.

The objective of this conference is to be a primary forum for reporting state-of-the-art advances and innovations in theoretical principles, tools, applications, systems infrastructure, and testbeds for cyber-physical systems. Contributions should emphasize the cross-cutting, system-wide themes.

Embedded systems is a multidisciplinary field, requiring skills from control and signal processing theory, electronics, computer engineering and science, telecommunication, etc., as well as application domain knowledge. Demand for embedded systems engineers has motivated a growing interest in the question of educating specialists in this domain. As embedded system designs grow more complex and the time to market diminishes, quality embedded systems education becomes more and more important.

Embedded computing systems are continuously adopted in a wide range of application areas and importantly, they are responsible for a large number of safety-critical systems as well as for the management of critical information. The advent of Internet-enabled embedded systems introduces a large number of security issues: the Internet can be used to attack embedded systems and embedded systems can be used to attack the Internet. Furthermore, embedded systems are vulnerable to many attacks not relevant to servers because they are physically accessible.

 This workshop, which will be held at Embedded Systems Week 2010, will serve as a hothouse for mentoring all varieties of underrepresented minorities in embedded computing and CPS.
