NEEDHAM, Mass. -- The Object Management Group(TM) (OMG (1) See Object Management Group.

(2) "Oh my God!" See digispeak.

OMG - Object Management Group
(TM)), a software consortium responsible for establishing distributed computing specifications, today announced a call for participation for its Software-Based Communications (SBC (1) (SBC Communications Inc., San Antonio, TX, www.sbc.com) A large, national telecommunications company that grew from a multitude of local and regional companies, including Southwestern Bell, Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell, into a single, unified brand by 2002. ) Workshop: Realizing the Vision. The workshop, co-sponsored by Boeing (www.boeing.com) and PrismTech (www.prismtechnologies.com) will take place March 5-8, 2007 in Washington, D.C., USA. The call for participation runs until September 15, 2006. All workshop and call details are available at http://www.omg.org/sbc07.

Partnering with industry, government and other standards bodies, the OMG continues its standardization efforts related to Software-Based Communication (SBC) technology with a focus on the development of a software architecture for software-defined radios (SDR See software defined radio. ). Building upon a military software-defined radio (SDR) foundation, Software-Based Communication technology has matured, with applicability growing to address a wide range of application areas including automotive, public safety, global tracking, consumer electronics and cellular network infrastructure. 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):

--Applying MDA (1) (Monochrome Display Adapter) The first IBM PC monochrome video display standard for text. Due to its lack of graphics, MDA cards were often replaced with Hercules cards, which provided both text and graphics. See PC display modes and Hercules Graphics.  to Software-based Communications

--Software development

--Software Frameworks, Architectures, Platforms and Platform Specific Models

--Real-time component-based architectures

--Performance issues and processing platform choices

--High-capacity SBC development

--Security issues and implementation approaches

--SBC Standards

--Hardware considerations

--Communications

--Value add IP Networks

--Data Communication Networks

--Radio Base Stations

--High Capacity (Bandwidth & Frequency) Mobile Datalinks

--Waveforms (GSM, WCDMA (Wideband CDMA) A 3G high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that use the TDMA or GSM technology worldwide, including AT&T (formerly Cingular) and T-Mobile in the U.S. )

--Tutorials on SBC overview and getting started with SBC

--Experience reports, case studies and best practices

--SBC snapshot including State of the Art, Future Directions / Research results

--Products and Advances in Tools

The final workshop agenda and registration details will be available by Thursday, October 5, 2006 and posted at http://www.omg.org/sbc07.

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 (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). , the key to successful IT. OMG's Modeling standards, the basis for the MDA(R), include the Unified Modeling Language See UML.
