Real-Time Magazine is calling for papers on Industrial PC & PLCs.

In industrial process control and other fields, PLC's are a lot used.
During the last years, we have seen that more and more people are tempted
to use PC's for control and measurement applications. This magazine wants
to clarify the state of the art in this field. 

We invite you to submit technical, educational articles about one or more
of the following topics:

- Are PLC's on a dead end or not? 
- How can a PC be used in a real-time environment? - 
- What kind of fieldbusses can be used to integrate PLC and PC technology? 
- Can you smoothly integrate PLC and any other technology (VMEbus systems,
Workstations, PCs, etc..)? 
- What RTOS are supporting PC platforms? 
- SCADA software for such environments. How useful?
