Scope of the conference
***********************

RTNS is a friendly and inclusive conference with a great sense of
community that presents excellent opportunities for discussion and
collaboration. The current plan is for the conference to be delivered in
a hybrid manner, with a mix of physical and virtual presentations.

Original unpublished papers on all aspects of real-time systems and
networks are welcome. For this year, RTNS particularly welcomes position
papers and papers defining open challenges.

RTNS covers a wide-spectrum of topics in real-time and embedded systems,
including, but not limited to:

- Real-time applications design and evaluation: automotive, avionics,
space, railways, telecommunications, process control, multimedia.

- Real-time aspects of emerging smart systems: cyber-physical systems
and emerging applications, real-time big data, real-time edge/fog and
cloud computing, smart grid.

- Real-time system design and analysis: real-time tasks modeling,
task/message scheduling, evaluation, mixed-criticality systems,
Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) analysis, quality of service,
security, thermal and power-aware system design.

- Software technologies for real-time systems: model-driven engineering,
programming languages, compilers, WCET-aware compilation and
parallelization strategies, middleware, Real-time Operating Systems
(RTOS), virtualization, hypervisors.

- Formal specification and verification: application of formal models,
such as model checking, satisfiability modulo theories or constraint
programming, to solve real-time problems.

- Real-time distributed systems: fault tolerance, time synchronization,
task/messages allocation, adaptability and reconfiguration,
publisher/subscriber protocols, distributed real-time database

- Real-time networks: Networks on Chip (NoC), wired and wireless sensor
and actuator networks, Time-Sensitive Networks (TSN), industrial IoT,
SDN, 5G, end-to-end latency analysis.

- Hardware support for real-time systems: hardware/software co-design,
power/temperature-aware techniques, design of predictable hardware,
multi-core and many-core platforms, hardware accelerators, cache
related issues, interconnect and memory.

Important dates
***************

Conference: June 7-8, 2022
Submission deadline: February 24, 2022
Notification: April 20, 2022
Camera ready: May 4, 2022

************************************************************************

The papers are limited to 10 two-column pages (not including references)
in ACM conference format. The proceedings will be published by the ACM
ICPS (approval pending). A selection of the best papers will receive
recognition as outstanding papers, and will be highlighted as such in
the proceedings.

Authors of a selection of papers will be invited to submit an extended
version of their work to the Springer Real-Time Systems journal. The
extended papers must have at least 35% new content.

Best papers and best student papers awards will be presented at the
conference, along with an award for the best presentation.

(Note that submissions are eligible for the best student paper award
provided that the first author is a student as of the submission
deadline).
