Call For Papers - CFP

7th annual workshop on

Operating Systems Platforms for Embedded Real-Time applications

http://www.seas.gwu.edu/~gparmer/ospert11/

July, 5th 2011, Porto, Portugal

held in conjunction with ECRTS 2011

Call for Papers

Research on innovative RTOS architectures and services is a hot

topic. Developers of Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) are faced with

many challenges arising from two opposite needs: extreme optimization

of resource usage (processor, energy, network bandwidth, etc.)

vs. dynamic configuration and upgrading, flexible scheduling,

component-based development and deployment, etc. While real-time

systems continue to be used in many small embedded applications,

real-time services are being introduced and used in general- purpose

operating systems. Notable examples are the various flavors Linux that

provide support to time-sensitive applications.

This workshop is intended as a forum for researchers and practitioners

of RTOS to discuss the recent advances in RTOS technology and the

challenges that lie ahead. The workshop will consist of submitted

papers as well as invited presentations about academic

state-of-the-art and industrial state-of-practice within the area.

Upon acceptance, a complete version of the paper (max 10 pages) must

be prepared and submitted. All papers will be made available to all

participants a week before the workshop so that contributions can be

examined prior to the workshop.

Scope

Topics include but are not limited to:

Dynamic reconfiguration and upgrading

Support for component based development

Scalability, from very small scale embedded systems to full-fledged OSes

Flexible scheduling

Quality of Service guarantees

Real-Time on Linux

Interaction with reconfigurable hardware

Support for embedded multiprocessor architectures

Coordinated management of multiple resources

Security and fault tolerance for embedded real-time systems

Power-aware operating systems

Submission of Papers

Submitted papers should follow the IEEE conference format (2 columns,

10 pt, single-line spacing) and should not exceed 10 pages in

length. Papers may be submitted in either PDF or Postscript

format. The papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program

Committee. All accepted papers will be made available to all

participants one week before the workshop so that contributions can be

examined prior to the event.

We want to encourage scientific reproducibility, and discourage

redundant work within the community. Thus, code relevant to each

submission must be publicly available, and a link to it included in

the submission. If you require an exception for commercial reasons,

please contact the chairs.

Papers should be submitted by using the START Conference Manager

system. The system acknowledges receipt of each submission by sending

an e-mail to the contact author, and it allows to revise a submission

till the deadline.

If a paper is accepted, at least one author should register for the

workshop following indications sent in the notification of acceptance,

and present the paper at the workshop in person.
