Stoyenko) Subject: Post-doctoral position The Real-Time Computing Lab (RTCL) at NJIT fully anticipates an attractive collaborative post-doctoral fellow position available soon. US citizenship is required. This is an informal and unofficial observation and not a solicitation --- please circulate to graduating Ph.D. students and recent (within 7 years) Ph.D.'s. The RTCL also would like to informally and unofficially invite unofficial corespondence from qualified US citizens or permanent residents towards an anticipated tenure-track Assistant Professor position beginning Spring'94 or Fall'94. Naturally, this is not a solicitation but just an informal informational note. Please circulate this note among your colleagues. The RTCL is part of the Department of Computer and Information Science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Ours is one of a relatively small number of growing departments. While junior faculty are expected to perform very well, the environment is excellent, and all things possible are done for junior faculty, to facilitate the continuos improvement in quality of our department. The basic goal is to work towards becoming a first tier department. Informal correspondence should be forwarded to: Prof. Alexander D.

What distinguishes COMPASS from similar conferences is its emphasis on bridging the gap between research and practice. Researchers are provided an opportunity to present results, new theories, and new technologies to both other researchers and practitioners who can put them to practice. They can also learn from practitioners of new research problem domains and of problems encountered in building real systems. Practitioners have an opportunity to share lessons learned, to learn of new research, and to influence future research. Papers should present advances in the theory, design, implementation, evaluation, or application of high-assurance systems, or report on experiments, evaluations, and open problems in the use of new technologies for computer assurance. Special consideration will be given to presentations (either single papers or paper pairs) by practitioners and researchers who have worked on the same problem. There will also be a tools fair. Papers, panel session proposals, tutorial proposals, and tools fair proposals are solicited in the following areas: Software Reliability Software Safety Computer Security Formal Methods Tools Process Models Real-Time Systems Networks Embedded Systems V&V Practices Certification Standards INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS: Send five copies of your paper, panel session proposal, tutorial proposal, or tools fair proposal to John McLean, Program Chair, at the address given below. Abstracts, electronic submissions, late submissions, and papers that cannot be published in the proceedings will not be accepted. Papers submitted from outside North America should be sent via overnight courier service. Papers must be received by January 15, 1994 and must not exceed 7500 words. Authors are responsible for obtaining prior to acceptance any and all necessary clearances for publication. Authors will be notified of acceptance by March 11, 1994. Camera-ready copies are due not later than April 22, 1994. Papers that use technology presented at a previous COMPASS conference are eligible for a special award. Papers of exceptional quality and appropriate subject matter are eligible for inclusion in a special issue of the Journal of High Integrity Systems or the Journal of Computer Security. Limited financial assistance will be available for student authors. PROGRAM COMMITTEE Paul Ammann, George Mason Univ.

Opinions range from "there is no role for real-time, just buy a faster processor" to "multimedia/interactive are real-time systems not unlike Command, Control and Communication (C3) Systems". This workshop is an attempt to bring together researchers and practitioners from across this opinion spectrum to cleanly identify and delineate the role of real-time in commercial multimedia/interactive systems. The emergence of multimedia systems into the commercial mainstream is creating new opportunities and challenges for the real-time research community. The opportunity is for the real-time community to have broad commercial impact. The challenge is for the real-time community to clearly demonstrate its value added to the commercial community. Specifically, the theory and practice of real-time computing is not only necessary, but is also the cost effective engineering approach for commercial multimedia/interactive systems. SUBMISSIONS: We are seeking 5 page position papers which: - illustrate where real-time capabilites are/are not required, - articulate the relationship between classical real-time systems, multimedia/interactive commercial systems, and general purpose computing systems, - capture the research challenges associated with widespead commercially available multimedia/interactive systems, - characterize multimedia data types and control types, - propose multimedia/interactive computing benchmarks, - summarize industry specific computing requirements, - report on tools and programming support for evaluation and realization of multimedia/interactive applications. Please send 5 copies of your submission to Jay K. Strosnider, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. DEMO/VIDEO SESSION: On the evening of the workshop there will demo/video session where interested parties are encouraged to bring demonstrations of their respective technologies and/or videos. This session will be open not only to workshop participants, but also to all RTSS attendees arriving that evening. Reservations for space and/or video equipment are required. SCHEDULE: Position papers and demo/video session proposals are due by September 15, 1993, Notification to authors will be by November 1, 1993. For more information, contact Jay K.
