We are pleased to invite submissions to the second round of the 34th International Conference on Real-Time Networks and Systems (RTNS 2026), which will take place in Toulouse, France, on November 4–6, 2026.

RTNS invites submissions covering a wide range of topics in real-time systems, networked systems and related areas, bringing together experts, practitioners, and students in these fields. We encourage both theoretical and experimental works that push the boundaries of current knowledge. We welcome contributions from both established researchers and newcomers to the field in order to create a diverse and dynamic environment. Accepted papers will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and presented to an international audience. Best Paper, Best Student Paper, and Best Presentation awards will be presented at the conference. Outstanding papers will also be invited to submit an extended version for a special issue of the Springer Real-Time Systems journal.

RTNS 2026 continues its multi-round submission model. The Round 2 deadline is:

Submission deadline: June 4, 2026

Data entirely hand-typed, one call for papers at a time. There is no scraper behind any of this: I read the announcement and type the dates in, in the gaps between other work, and with the hope it is useful to others. Organisers then move deadlines without telling anyone, calls get edited in place, and now and then the typing is simply wrong. Treat this as a well-meaning notebook rather than an authority, and check the conference’s own page before you submit anything you care about.
