Call For Papers

The 26th IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium in Miami will follow the format of recent RTSSs, with several tracks. RTSS remains the premier conference in the area of real-time computing, presenting innovations in the field with respect to theory and practice.

The following is new this year:

• Double-Blind Reviews : As with other conferences, this year RTSS will only accept papers in which authors cannot be identified, either explicitly or by implication (e.g., through the references or acknowledgments). Submissions violating these rules or the formatting guidelines on the web page will not be considered for publication. (FAQ)
• Original Submissions: Submitted papers must have original content that has not been previously published in, or under review by, other refereed venues (other workshops, conferences or journals). Papers violatingthis policy will be rejected without review.
• Special Activity : A special competition is being planned, revolving around implementation of real-time constraints and applications of simulated robots. Watch this space for more information. Stefan Petters is coordinating this effort.

Scope of the Conference: The Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS) provides a forum for the presentation of high-quality, original research covering all aspects of real-time systems design, analysis, implementation, evaluation, and case-studies. RTSS’05 continues the trend of making RTSS an expansive and inclusive symposium, looking to embrace new and emerging areas of real-time systems research. RTSS’05 welcomes the submission of mature papers in several areas of real-time computing, including but not limited to scheduling; databases; observability; composability; security for RTSS; tools and reduction to practice; control and adaptive RT systems theory; testing and debugging; modeling; formal methods; communications (wireless, wireline, and sensor networks); power, thermal, and energy management; embedded systems; sensor and implantable devices; robustness; fault tolerance and robustness; intelligent behavior; time-sensitive robotics; emergency/disaster management; embedded real-time systems and infrastructures; QoS support; real-time systems middleware.
