Call for Papers
The IEEE Real-Time and
Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS) is a highly selective
forum for presentation and discussion of original research papers, covering
all aspects of real-time and embedded computing theory and practice.
RTAS'11, the seventeenth in a series of annual conferences sponsored by
IEEE, will be held in Chicago, IL, USA, as part of the Cyber-Physical
Systems Week (CPS Week), April 11-14, 2011. CPS Week 2011 will bring
together five leading conferences, namely the International Conference on
Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN'11), the International
Conference on Hybrid Systems (HSCC'11), the International Conference on
Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS'11), the Conference on Languages, Compilers,
and Tools for Embedded Systems (LCTES'11), and RTAS'11.
RTAS 2011 invites papers
describing original contributions both to the state of art and the state of
practice in the broad field of embedded and open real-time systems and
computing. The scope of RTAS 2011 will consist of the traditional core area
of real-time and embedded systems infrastructure and theory, as well as two
additional areas of special emphasis (specialized tracks): Hardware/Software
Integration and Co-design, Wireless Sensor Networks.
- Core Area: Real-Time
and Embedded Systems:
This thrust continues from previous years with a focus on embedded and
real-time systems. Papers should describe original contributions to
infrastructure, system support, or theoretical foundations for real-time
or embedded computing. Submissions focusing on system design,
implementation, and performance evaluation, as well as industrial
experience papers, are encouraged. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
- networks of
embedded computers;
- real-time
communication;
- real-time resource
management and scheduling;
- operating system
and middleware support for real-time or embedded systems;
- energy and
temperature management;
- QoS management;
- multimedia embedded
systems;
- security,
dependability and reliability for real-time embedded systems;
- real-time system
modeling and analysis;
- composability;
- control theoretical
approaches and performance feedback control;
- formal methods,
WCET analysis;
- software
engineering and programming methodologies for real-time embedded
systems;
- distributed
real-time information and database systems.
- Area A:
Hardware/Software Integration and Co-Design:
This track focuses on design methodologies and tools for
hardware/software integration and co-design of modern embedded systems
for real-time applications. Such systems are increasingly complex and
heterogeneous, both in terms of architectures and applications they need
to support, so new approaches aimed at their efficient design and
optimization are in great demand. General topics relevant to this track
include various architecture- and software-related issues of embedded
systems design which include, but are not limited to, architecture
description languages and tools, WCET analysis, software architectures,
design space exploration, synthesis and optimization. Of special
interest are SoC design for real-time applications, special purpose
functional units, specialized memory structures, multi-core chips and
communication aspects, FPGA simulation and prototyping, software
simulation and compilation for novel architectures and applications, as
well as power, timing and predictability analyses.
- Area B: Wireless
Sensor Networks:
Wireless Sensor Network
(WSN) has emerged as a new information paradigm for distributed
real-time and embedded systems. Example applications include environment
monitoring, emergency response, critical infrastructure protection,
medical care, intelligent transportation, and smart manufacturing. The
WSN track aims at fostering interaction and collaboration of researchers
and exchanging new ideas in various aspects of sensor network research.
The WSN track of RTAS is open to submissions addressing any major aspect
of sensor networks. Submissions concerning real-time and embedded issues
are encouraged, but not required. Authors are invited to submit original
works that demonstrate current research on various aspects of wireless
sensor network systems. Topics of interest include (but are not limited
to): sensor network applications and deployment experiences; sensor
network architectures and protocols; programming abstractions; operating
systems and middleware for sensor networks; real-time operation issues
in sensor networks; distributed networked sensing; actuation and
control; power and energy management/harvesting;
wide-area sensing services; detection, classification, and estimation;
localization and time synchronization; security and privacy.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
All papers must be
submitted electronically in pdf format.
The material must be unpublished and not under submission elsewhere.
Submissions should be no more than 10 pages in IEEE two-column, 10pt
format. Papers that do not comply with these restrictions may not be
considered for review. Please see the
submission page for more details.
A special Work in Progress (WiP) session will be organized and announced
later. This session will be for the presentation of on-going and recent
work.
