CALL FOR PAPERS

19th EUROMICRO CONFERENCE ON REAL-TIME SYSTEMS

http://ecrts07.ecrts.org

Pisa, Italy

July 4-6, 2007

Organised by the Euromicro Technical Committee on Real-time Systems

THEME AND TOPICS OF INTEREST

The nineteenth EUROMICRO Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS'07) 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.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND HARDWARE:

communication networks; embedded devices; hardware/software co-design; power-aware and other resource-constrained techniques; systems 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 for RT systems; quality of service support; reliability, security and survivability in RT systems; scheduling and schedulability analysis; worst-case execution time analysis; validation techniques.

This year we want to continue encouraging the submission of papers on industrial case studies, application of real-time technology on realistic systems, and real-time operating systems implementations. An Advisory Board of representatives from industries has been appointed to evaluate papers with respect to industrial or strategic impact.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Full papers must be submitted electronically through our web form in pdf format (available soon from http://ecrts07.ecrts.org/). The material must be unpublished and not under submission elsewhere. The paper must be in the same format as in the final published proceedings (10 pages maximum, 2 columns, 10 pt). Papers exceeding the maximum length will not be reviewed. See the submission page for more details.

• Notice: Papers exceeding such limits may not be considered for review.

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGTHS

Pursuing a successful tradition in the ECRTS series, a special Work in Progress (WiP) session will be organised. This session is mainly intended for presentation of on-going and recent work. Additionally, a set of Satellite Workshops focusing on hot topics will be organised. These include the continuation of the already successful real-time networks (RTN), worst-case execution time (WCET), and Operating System Platforms for Embedded Real-Time Applications (OSPERT) workshops. A separate call for papers will be issued later for both WiP and satellite workshops. Please visit the conference website later for further information. The main conference will include Keynote Sessions. In this year's edition, besides the Best Paper Award, a selection of best papers will be invited for a Special Issue of an international journal.

IMPORTANT DATES

LOCAL INFORMATION

Pisa is a university city with a population of nearly 100,000 (including 40,000 students - not all of whom are resident). It is situated in Tuscany, close to the coast and just 80 km from Florence. Once a Marine Republic, Pisa stretches along the shores of the Arno River, and occupies a place of honor amongst the most exclusive of art cities. Its glorious past offers authentic wonders to the tourist, and there is lot more to see than just the leaning Tower of Pisa, its most popular 'product'. Pisa is very well connected: it has an international airport, "Galileo Galilei", located 2 km from the city center, with frequent flights to many European airports operated by major flight companies, including discount airlines. The railway station is located on the main line from Turin to Rome and there is a very frequent train service to and from Florence.
