Abstract deadline for Real Time Data Conference RTD94
A.Daviel
Dear colleague,
The deadline for abstracts for this conference is fast approaching
and this reminder is being sent with the hope that you will forward it to
your co-workers who may wish to contribute.
Abstracts should be sent either to the secretariat or to any member
of the programme committee at your convenience.
If you receive this message several times please do excuse me. It is
simply that you are on more than one mailing list. If you have access to a list
server we would be delighted if you would pass the invitation on.
Best regards
Phil Ponting

ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
The International Conference on Real Time Data is a biennial meeting,
bringing together engineers and scientists active in developments and
applications of computer hardware and software for (laboratory) measurement
systems. It offers a forum to present and discuss the state of the art of
all aspects of real time data handling.
The series of Real Time Data conferences is organized under auspices of ESONE
(Committee for European Studies On Norms for Electronics). This committee is
committed to stimulate in particular the cooperation between groups formerly
separated by political barriers.
The next conference, RTD'94, which emphasizes the challenges of distributed
front-end processing of real time data, is organized by the Department of
Computer Techniques and Automation (LCTA) of the Joint Institute for Nuclear
Research (JINR) in Dubna, near Moscow, Russia.
TOPICS BEING ADDRESSED INCLUDE
* On-line control of laboratory systems
* Control Systems for experiments
* Software methodology and tools for real time applications
* Object-oriented programming & Data bases
* Simulation and modeling for real time systems
* Advanced hardware for triggering, filtering and distributed processing
* Data acquisition for complex measurement systems
* Front-end computer architectures
* Transmission and processing of large data volumes
* Bus and network systems for distributed data processing
* Parallel and multiprocessor based systems
* CAE for real time applications.
JINR
The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) is an international research
center, located at the quiet and pleasing town of Dubna, 130 km North of
Moscow on picturesque wooded banks of the great Russian river Wolga.
Dubna has a comfortable summer climate (temperatures 20 - 30 degrees Celcius).
It can be reached by direct railway (in about 2 hours) from Moscow.
ESONE
The Committee for European Studies On Norms for Electronics (ESONE) is a
non-profit organization of 58 European research institutes plus affiliated
organizations. ESONE member laboratories come from 15 European countries.
The aims of ESONE are to formulate, recommend and promulgate practices among
its member laboratories, especially in areas where suitable international or
regional standards do not exist, for application in the design and utilization
of electronic equipment and modular computing systems.
