CALL FOR PAPERS

THEME AND TOPICS OF INTEREST

The twenty-third EUROMICRO Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS’11) is a forum aimed at covering state-of-the-art research and development in real-time computing. Papers on all aspects of real-time systems are welcome. These include, but are not limited to:

* APPLICATIONS: consumer electronics; multimedia and entertainment; process control; avionics, aerospace; automotive; telecommunications; cyber-physical systems.

* INFRASTRUCTURE AND HARDWARE: communication networks; embedded devices; hardware/software co-design; power-aware and other resource-constrained techniques; systems on chip; time engines and time synchronization; wireless sensor networks.

* SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES: compiler support; component-based approaches; middleware and distribution technologies; programming languages and operating systems.

* SYSTEM DESIGN AND ANALYSIS: modelling and formal methods; probabilistic analysis for RT systems; quality of service support; reliability, security and survivability in RT systems; scheduling and schedulability analysis; worst-case execution time analysis; validation techniques.


SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Full papers must be submitted electronically through our web form in PDF format (see "submission page" at http://www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/ecrts11/). Submitted papers must be unpublished and not under submission elsewhere. Submissions must be in the same format as in the final published proceedings (10 pages maximum, 2 columns, 10 pt).

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGTHS

Pursuing a successful tradition in the ECRTS series, a special Work in Progress (WiP) session will be organized. This session is mainly intended for presentation of on-going and recent work. Additionally, a set of Satellite Workshops focusing on hot topics will be organized. These include the continuation of the already successful Real-Time Networks (RTN, the tenth edition), Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET, the eleventh edition), Analysis Tools and Methodologies for Embedded and Real-time Systems (WATERS, the 2nd edition), and Operating Systems Platforms for Embedded Real-Time Applications (OSPERT, the seventh edition) Workshops and the second edition of RTSOPS, the Real-Time Scheduling Open Problems Seminar (RTSOPS). A separate call for papers will be issued later for both WiP and satellite workshops. Please visit the website later for further information.

The main conference will include three Keynote Sessions, one per day, which will be announced well in advance to the event. In addition, a Best Paper Award will given and a selection of best papers will be invited for a special issue of an international journal.
