WCTT 2011 - 1st International Workshop on Worst-case Traversal Time

1st International Workshop on Worst-case Traversal Time (WCTT)

Vienna, Austria, Nov. 29, 2011
co-located with the 32nd IEEE Real-time Systems Symposium (RTSS)

website: http://www.wctt.info

info: wctt-AT-cng1.iet.unipi.it

The WCTT workshop will gather together scientists and practitioners
from both academia and industry to discuss methods for analysis of
bounds on the traversal time in networked systems. Multi-hop,
network-like traversal will be a mandatory requirement. Contributions
that describe software tools for computing worst-case bounds and/or
assess the scalability and accuracy of the performance methods will be
given particular attention. The workshop values both theoretical and
practical research. Experiences with real-life case studies (e.g.,
industrial networks of practical relevance, fieldbuses, embedded
networks and network-on-chip) will also be appreciated, as well as
those on the integration of applicative scheduling and network.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Methods:
- Network Calculus (both deterministic and stochastic),
- Real-time Calculus
- Trajectory Approach
- Event-based methods
- Formal methods

Areas of applications:
- Embedded systems
- Computer networks
- Network-on-Chip
- Industrial networks

We solicit submission of manuscripts that present original research
results, neither previously published nor currently under review by
another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be formatted
according to the ACM conference proceedings format. Only PDF files
will be accepted. Papers must be up to eight pages long, including
references and title. Please note that the camera-ready version
will conform to the same guidelines as the submission for review.
All submitted papers will go through a rigorous peer review process.
Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest,
clarity, relevance, and correctness. Submission implies the
willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and
present the paper. Accepted papers will be printed in the workshop
proceedings. Distinguished papers, after further revisions, may be
considered for a journal special issue.

Important Dates:

Paper submission deadline: Sep 11th, 2011
Paper decision deadline: Oct 16th, 2011
Camera-ready deadline: Oct 30th, 2011
Workshop date: Nov 29th, 2011
