ECRTS 2012 - 24th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS12)

THEME AND TOPICS OF INTEREST
The twenty-fourth EUROMICRO Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS’12) 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; system-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; quality of service support; reliability, security and survivability; scheduling and schedulability analysis; worst-case execution time analysis; validation and verification techniques.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Full papers must be submitted electronically through our web form in a pdf format. The material must be unpublished and not under submission elsewhere.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). Papers exceeding the page limit will not be reviewed. Note that the submission deadline is a firm deadline and will not be extended.
A selection of the best papers will receive outstanding paper awards, and will be highlighted as such in the conference proceedings. These papers will form the shortlist for a best paper award, which will be presented at the conference. At ECRTS’12, we aim to be more inclusive and thus accept a larger number of high quality papers than in recent years.
CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
Following a successful tradition at ECRTS, there will be a special Work in Progress (WiP) session. This session is intended for presentation of recent and on-going work. There will also be a continuation of a number of successful Satellite Workshops including: OSPERT ? Operating Systems Platforms for Embedded Real-Time applications, WCET ? Worst-Case Execution Time analysis, RTN ? Real- Time Networks, WATERS ? Workshop on Analysis Tools and methodologies for Embedded and Real-time Systems, and RTSOPS ? Real-Time Scheduling Open Problems Seminar. A separate call for papers will be issued later for both the WiP session and satellite workshops. Please visit the website at ecrts12.ecrts.org for further information.
