RTNS 2021 - 29th International Conference on Real-Time Networks and Systems

Scope of the conference
RTNS is a friendly and inclusive conference with a great sense of community that presents excellent opportunities for collaboration. The current plan is for the conference to be delivered in a hybrid manner, with a mix of physical (at the University of Nantes, France) and virtual presentations, however due to COVID-19 the conference may have to move to fully virtual.
Original unpublished papers on all aspects of real-time systems and networks are welcome.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.
Software technologies for real-time systems: model-driven engineering, programming languages, compilers, WCET-aware compilation and parallelization strategies, middleware, Real-Time Operating Systems, 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.
