---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16th International Workshop on Real-Time Networks RTN 2018 https://www.ecrts.org/rtn2018/?id=rtn2018 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS NEW: collaborative session on TSN networks and open real-time problems! (see workshop structure session) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRESENTATION The Real-Time Networks (RTN) is a satellite workshop of the 30th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2018), the premier European venue for presenting research into the broad area of real-time and embedded systems. The RTN 2018 workshop is the sixteenth in the series of workshops that started at the 2002 ECRTS conference. No edition took however place in 2015. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOCUS OF THE 2018 EDITION To continue a new series of workshops, RTN 2018 focuses on the real-time aspects of the new IEEE standards for Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN). Besides, accepted papers will be published in ACM SIGBED Review unless authors explicitly refuse in order to submit their work to a conference or journal. A keynote on *Time-Sensitive Networking* (TSN) will be given by Wilfried Steiner from TTTech! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP STRUCTURE The RTN workshop provides a relaxed forum for industrial and academic participants to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions and to review current trends in the area of real-time networks and NoC. Schedule will provide significant time for discussions among the attendees. *NEW*: in addition to presentation sessions, a collaborative session will be setup to stimulate exchange between participants on the topic of TSN networks and open real-time problems. Different types of contributions, including demos, informal presentations, posters, are encouraged to animate this session! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Real-time network on chips (NoC) - Real-time Software Defined Networks (SDN) - Real-time message scheduling and mapping over off and on-chip networks (TSN, Ethernet, CAN, FlexRay, NoC, etc.) - Real-time applications (automotive, aerospace, multimedia, etc.): implementation, experimentation and evaluation - Performance evaluation, simulation and modeling tools of real-time networks (automotive, aerospace, multimedia, etc.) - Real-time aspects of networked embedded systems and sensors, cyber-physical systems, internet of things - Real-time network management and time synchronization - Real-time aspects of Wireless technologies and Sensor Networks (WSNs) and applications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadlines (extended!):   Papers:        24th April 2018   Abstracts:       24th April 2018 Notification of acceptance: 8th May 2018 Submission of camera-ready papers: 22nd May 2018 Workshop: 3rd July 2018 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS The RTN workshop seeking regular research paper or position paper that should not exceed 6 pages.
