------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st International workshop on Mixed Criticality Systems (WMC)


at the IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium
Vancouver, Canada, 3rd December, 2013

http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~robdavis/wmc/

**** Submission Deadline : 4th October 2013 ****

------------------------------------------------------------------------

WORKSHOP

The purpose of WMC is to share new ideas, experiences and information about
research and development of Mixed Criticality real-time systems.

THEMES

The workshop aims to bring together researchers working in fields relating
to real-time systems with a focus on the challenges brought about by the
integration of mixed criticality applications onto singlecore, multicore and
manycore architectures. These challenges are cross-cutting. To advance
rapidly, closer interaction is needed between the sub-communities involved
in real-time scheduling, real-time operating systems / runtime environments,
and timing analysis.

The workshop aims to promote understanding of the fundamental problems that
affect Mixed Criticality Systems (MCS) at all levels in the software /
hardware stack and crucially the interfaces between them. The workshop will
promote lively interaction, cross fertilisation of ideas, synergies, and
closer collaboration across the breadth of the real-time community, as well
as attracting industrialists from the aerospace, automotive and other
industries with a specific interest in MCS.

Original unpublished papers on all aspects of mixed criticality real-time
systems are welcome. Themes include, but are not limited to:

* Task and system models for MCS on singlecore, multicore, and manycore
platforms.
* Scheduling schemes and analyses for MCS, including the integration of
appropriate models of overheads and delays.
* Run-time environments and support for MCS, including data exchange and
synchronisation across criticality levels, and issues relating to
criticality mode.
* Analysis of worst-case execution times (WCET) relating to MCS.
* Mixed criticality communications mechanisms and analysis, including
Network-on-Chip support.
* Probabilistic analysis techniques for MCS.

The workshop does not aim to cover security aspects that relate to some MCS.
