* UPDATES on diffusion of COVID-19 in South Korea *

The diffusion of COVID-19 ("coronavirus") is constantly monitored by
the conference organizers. Based on World Health Organization (WHO)
information, the number of new reported infections is now decreasing
in Korea (source: https://www.who.int/). For this reason and
considering that the warm climate is limiting the diffusion virus, we
expect a positive evolution by August.

Since safety of participants is of paramount importance to the
organizers, would the situation be still harmful for participants
according to the WHO, we are prepared to allow speakers the remote
participation via video-conferencing system.

** Overview **

The RTCSA conference series (now at its 26th edition) brings together
researchers and developers from academia and industry for advancing
the technology and the theory to design and develop time-sensitive
applications. All traditional applications in which temporal aspects
need to be considered are in the scope of the conference. CPS,
(Industrial) IoT, embedded systems, fog/edge/cloud computing are just
notable examples. RTCSA welcomes both research and industrial papers
that describe research or technical aspects in the area of embedded
and real-time systems. Proceedings will be published by the IEEE
Computer Society on IEEExplore and will be indexed by most search
engines including Scopus, Web of Science, DBLP.

** Submission Guidelines **
Site: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=rtcsa2020

Both research and industry papers are solicited. The submitted
manuscript must describe original work not previously published and
not concurrently submitted elsewhere. We welcome high quality papers,
adhering to the following two formats:

- Full Paper format: paper must fit within 10 pages
- Short Paper format: paper must fit within 6 pages

Both types of submission must be formatted according to the IEEE
conference proceedings format (two-columns, single-space, 10pt) and
must include references and acknowledgements within the page limit.

In some cases, the Program Committee may decide to accept a full paper
submission as a short paper, in which case, the authors will be
required to reduce its length for the final version. Conference
content will be published by the IEEE Computer Society on IEEExplore
and will be indexed by most search engines including Scopus, Web of
Science, DBLP.

By submitting a paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one
author will register to the conference and participate by presenting
the paper in person. RTCSA 2020 reserves the right to exclude a paper
from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from the digital
libraries and indexing services), if the paper is not presented at the
conference.


*Important Dates*

- Paper Submission Deadline: March 31, 2020
- Acceptance Notification: May 20, 2020
- Final Paper Submission: June 15, 2020
- Conference Date: August 19-21, 2020
