     9th International Workshop on Analysis Tools and Methodologies
             for Embedded and Real-time Systems (WATERS 2018)

                                CALL FOR PAPERS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The goal of the WATERS workshop series is to create a common ground
and a community to share methodologies, software tools, best
practices, data sets, application models, benchmarks and any other way
to improve comparability of results in the current practice of
research in real-time and embedded systems.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
 - Tools and methods for the analysis of real-time systems
 - Realistic case studies and reusable data sets
 - Comparative evaluation of existing algorithms and techniques
 - Modelling, analysis and simulation of, possibly mixed-criticality,
   real-time, distributed, and embedded systems running on multi-core,
   many-core, massively parallel, or distributed systems
 - Modelling, analysis and simulation of the various components
   of the run-time environment, including the operating system, the
   hypervisor, or complex middleware components
 - Instrumentation, tracing methods and overhead analysis, including
   proper accounting of the overheads due to various virtualization
   technologies
 - Power consumption models and experimental data for real-time
   power-aware systems
 - Simulation, instrumentation and analysis of complex distributed
   systems infrastructures such as Cloud Computing infrastructures,
   when supporting real-time and QoS-aware applications

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOCUS OF THE 2018 EDITION

Modern embedded systems (e.g. ADAS in automotive or mobile robotics) are
characterized by the fusion of several application domains (e.g.
control, cognition, high-level planning, etc.) onto the same digital HW
platform. Each of these application domains is characterized by
different execution requirements and follows different models of
computation. As a consequence, classical models in isolation are not
sufficient to predict real-time and performance properties. This year we
particularly encourage submissions proposing novel models or combining
existing models for analyzing real-time and performance properties for
such heterogeneous systems.

CALL FOR CHALLENGE SOLUTIONS

This year Dassault Aviation proposes a new WATERS challenge based on the RESSAC use-case
https://www.ecrts.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=111&sid=42989986f6dbb5ff20d6f35e91488f0c

Solutions to the previous challenges proposed by Robert Bosch GmbH and Thales Research and Technology are still welcome. Details about last years challenges and solutions can be found in the WATERS forum under http://ecrts.eit.uni-kl.de/forum/

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEMO SESSION AT THE ECRTS MAIN CONFERENCE

Together with the Work-in-Progress poster session and reception,
authors of contributions accepted at WATERS (regular contributions and
challenge solutions) will have the opportunity to show demonstrations
of their work to all ECRTS participants on July 4th. This is one of
the most attractive and interactive events at the conference. All
prospective authors are very much encouraged to consider this
opportunity. Technical requirements regarding demos must be provided at
the same time as paper final versions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Again this year, we offer a flexible submission format, allowing both
regular papers (6 pages IEEE format) and proposals for a technical
presentation (1 page IEEE format).

We also welcome proposals for panel discussions. If you are interested
please contact the WATERS’18 chairs.

All submitted contributions will be reviewed by the workshop program
committee. The accepted contributions will be made available online
via the community forum at least one week before the workshop so that
contributions can be examined prior to the event. The copyright
remains with the authors.

By submitting a contribution, the authors agree and confirm that, if
accepted, at least one author will register for WATERS 2018 by the
special registration deadline set in the notification of acceptance,
and present the contribution at the workshop in person.
