Submissions of 2 page extended abstracts describing exciting new, in-progress, and/or experimental research are invited for the Work-in- Progress (WIP) session of the 2013 IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS). The WiP session is devoted to the presentation of new and on-going research in real-time systems, theory, and applications. The primary purpose of the WiP session is to provide researchers with an opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the real-time community at large. Of particular interest are ideas and contributions that present significant paradigm shifts, explore unique and unconventional approaches to important problems, or investigate fundamental departures from conventional wisdom in adopted solutions. WiP topics include, but are not limited to:

Design and Verification
Adaptive systems theory and practice
Architectural support
Case studies
Compiler support
Cyber-physical systems
Embedded systems
Energy management
Formal methods
Model-based development
Multicore real-time support
Multi-criticality analysis and support
Multimedia computing
Performance modeling
QoS support
Real-time and dependability
Real-time databases
Real-time programming languages
Real-time sensor/actuator networks
Real-time systems middleware
Scheduling algorithms
Security and survivability
Software engineering
System development tools
Systems integration
Wireless Sensor Networks
Worst-case execution time estimation

The RTSS 2013 WiP session will be held during the symposium (December 3 to December 6, Vancouver, Canada). Submissions should describe original on-going work. Accepted submissions will be included in a separate RTSS WiP Proceedings, which will be distributed to all RTSS symposium participants and will be available electronically from the RTSS home page. One author of every accepted paper should be registered to the conference and present the paper during the conference. All WiP projects will be presented orally and in a poster session.

Submission Instructions

The expected length of submitted extended abstracts is 2 pages. Submissions should NOT exceed two (2) pages including references and figures – extended abstracts exceeding two pages will not be reviewed.

Papers should be formatted as single-space, double-column (normal IEEE format), in a 10 point font. Templates are available at:
