30th IEEE ISORC 2027 Call for Papers IIT Ropar, Punjab, India April  07-09.
2027. https://isorc-conference.org/
We are pleased to announce the 30th IEEE International Symposium on
Real-Time Distributed Computing (IEEE ISORC 2027), to be held at the Indian
Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar), Punjab, India, in March 2027.
Exact conference dates will be announced soon.

About IEEE ISORC
IEEE ISORC was established in 1998 to advance research in real-time
distributed computing. For nearly three decades, ISORC has provided an
intimate forum for researchers and practitioners to address fundamental and
emerging challenges in timing, predictability, determinism, and
dependability in modern computing systems.
Today, real-time constraints extend well beyond traditional embedded
systems and play a central role in autonomous vehicles, edge AI, medical
devices, industrial control systems, robotics, and next-generation
communications infrastructure. IEEE ISORC 2027 welcomes high-quality
research that places real-time constraints, timing analysis, determinism,
dependability, or embedded-system concerns at the center of the
contribution.
AI/ML, IoT, distributed systems, and autonomous computing topics are
welcome when they are grounded in explicit real-time, timing,
predictability, or embedded-system requirements.
IEEE ISORC 2027 marks the symposium’s 30th anniversary and its first
edition in India, hosted by IIT Ropar. Consistent with the ISORC tradition,
the technical program will maintain a single-track format, providing
participants with opportunities to engage with the complete technical
program, exchange ideas, and interact with researchers from the real-time
and distributed computing community.
