RTNS 2021 – Call for Papers

Nantes, France

https://rtns2021.univ-nantes.fr

*************************************************************************************

Scope of the conference

***********************

RTNS is a friendly and inclusive conference with a great sense
of community that
presents excellent opportunities for discussion and
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Original unpublished papers on all aspects of real-time systems and networks are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 (RTOS), 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.

Submission of papers – https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rtns2021

********************

The papers are limited to 10 two-column pages (not including references) in ACM
conference format. The proceedings will be published by the ACM ICPS (approval
pending). A selection of the best papers will receive
recognition as outstanding
papers, and will be highlighted as such in the proceedings.

Authors of outstanding papers will be invited to submit an extended version of
their work to a special issue of the Springer Real-Time Systems journal. The
extended papers must have at least 35% new content. Best papers and best student
papers awards will be presented at the conference, along with
an award for the
best presentation.

(Note that submissions are eligible for the best student paper award provided
that the first author is a student as of the submission deadline).

RTNS 2021 will have the artifact evaluation for the accepted papers, to
guarantee the availability of source code and data to replicate the experiments.
