ECRTS

Call for pitches! Do not miss the opportunity to pitch your ideas at ECRTS'24 in Lille!

Real-Time Pitches include work-in-progress, wild-and-crazy-ideas, call-for-actions, demos and journal-to-conference talks. It is an opportunity to address the real-time community with your interesting work or any other interesting thoughts that you would like to share.

Pitches are 5 minute talks each and must be related to real-time systems as well as the general scope of ECRTS (see ECRTS call for papers). Aside from that, feel free to talk about anything you think might interest the real-time community. Real-Time Pitches especially encourage ideas that break new ground, depart from established subfields, or challenge the status quo. If a pitch is accepted for presentation, one of the authors is expected to give a 5 minute live talk at the conference, and to present a poster and/or demo at the conference reception for further discussions.

To make sure topics are in scope and to schedule the session, we ask you to submit an abstract (at most 2 pages, but preferably much shorter) of your pitch and/or a sketch of your poster. The abstract will not be peer reviewed or published.

Submissions are open until all slots are taken or until 25th of June at the latest. Feedback on the abstracts will be provided within days from submission. Note that early submissions until 31th of May will get feedback before the end of the early registration deadline. At least one author of an accepted submission must register for the full conference (a student registration is OK) and present in the session and the reception.

First Workshop on Real-Time Autonomous Systems Security
(RTAutoSec 2024)

www.ecrts.org/rtautosec-2024/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Autonomous systems such as ground and aerial vehicles, cognitive robots, and
mechanical plants are used in many applications (transportation, surveillance,
control systems, precision agriculture, and healthcare) and ease our everyday
lives. Such systems also have “real-time” (viz., stringent timing and
safety-critical) requirements. Due to their growing usage and high value,
adversarial threats to those critical systems are increasing. Security,
resiliency, and privacy problems in modern real-time autonomous systems pose
direct threats to the users/operators, the system itself, the other entities
(including humans) around it, and the environment. Hence, there is a need for a
concerted effort to understand the threats and devise techniques to make
critical systems resilient against cyber-attacks. Considering the urgency and
research needs, the First Workshop on Real-Time Autonomous Systems Security
(RT-AutoSec) provides a platform for researchers to present original research
papers addressing these challenges. RT-AutoSec aims to bring together experts
from academia and industry to discuss and address the security, resiliency, and
privacy challenges of modern, connected autonomous systems. The expected impacts
include identifying and eliminating adversarial threats in autonomous systems’
design and implementation space.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

22nd International Workshop on
Worst-Case Ex*****on Time Analysis
(WCET 2024)

www.ecrts.org/wcet-2024/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 22nd International Workshop on Worst-Case Ex*****on Time Analysis (WCET
2024) targets the resource-consumption analysis of embedded systems in a broad
sense, with an emphasis on techniques to analyze the worst-case ex*****on time
(WCET) of real-time software. The workshop covers a wide range of topics related
to embedded real-time systems, timing analysis, program analysis, as well as
hardware and operating-system designs. With the goal of comprehensively meeting
resource requirements, the WCET Workshop 2024 welcomes contributions of analysis
techniques for resources other than time, such as energy or memory.

A large class of embedded systems is distinguished from general-purpose
computing systems by the need to satisfy (strict) resource requirements. The
analysis of such systems is challenging due to the interaction of the physical
environment with the system's software, which, in turn, interacts with the
underlying hardware. All these interactions make it difficult in practice to
guarantee that a system meets all its resource requirements. Designers and
engineers thus strive for their systems to be predictable and analyzable,
thereby facilitating the verification of the systems' worst-case behavior.

In order to foster vivid discussions, the workshop especially appreciates
statements and approaches that are innovative or controversial.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

13th International
Real-Time Scheduling Open Problems Seminar
(RTSOPS 2024)

www.ecrts.org/rtsops-2024/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The seminar comprises short presentation sessions to encourage intensive
discussion, new collaborations, and cooperation within the real-time systems
community. RTSOPS focuses on practical aspects of real-time systems design,
analysis, and open theoretical problems. We particularly encourage researchers
working in industry or collaborating with industrial partners to share their
challenges and open problems with us.

Abstracts may be submitted describing well-known but as yet unsolved problems.
However, all abstracts should contain some element of original work that has not
been published before; for example, a new problem, a new way of looking at an
existing problem, new intuition or ideas on how a problem might be solved,
possible frameworks for solutions, or overviews of special cases that may be
useful in solving a problem.

Of course, the authors of open problem submissions from previous years’ RTSOPS
are invited to submit short status reports on progress made towards a solution
to their open problem. These abstracts should include a brief statement of the
open problem and a description of the technical advances toward a solution.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

18th annual workshop on
Operating Systems Platforms for Embedded Real-Time applications
(OSPERT 2024)

www.ecrts.org/ospert24/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OSPERT is a forum for researchers and engineers working on (and with)
Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOSs) to present recent advances in RTOS
technology, to promote new and existing initiatives and projects, and to
identify and discuss the challenges that lie ahead. The workshop, now in
its 18th year, provides the RTOS community with an opportunity to
meet and exchange ideas, network, and discuss future directions.

OSPERT is open to all topics related to providing a reliable and
efficient operating environment for real-time and embedded applications.

Developers of embedded RTOSs are faced with many challenges arising from
two opposite needs: on the one hand, there is a need for extreme resource
usage optimization (processor cycles, energy, network bandwidth, etc.),
and on the other hand, there are also increasing demands in terms of
scalability, flexibility, isolation, adaptivity, reconfigurability,
predictability, serviceability, and certifiability, to name a few.
Further, while special-purpose RTOSs continue to be used for many
embedded applications, real-time services are also increasingly
introduced and used in general-purpose operating systems and market
pressures continue to blur the lines between the two formerly distinct
classes of operating systems. Notable examples are the various flavors
of real-time Linux that support time-sensitive applications, the
emergence of commercial and open-source real-time hypervisors, as well
as the growth in features and scope of embedded OS and middleware
specifications such as AUTOSAR.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The third International Workshop on
Real-Time Cloud Systems
(RT-Cloud 2024)

www.ecrts.org/rt-cloud-2024/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
While most cloud services operate on a best-effort basis and provide no
timing guarantees, there is a growing interest in cloud technologies for
industrial and critical applications. Edge computing is a recent paradigm
that brings processing and storage resources closer to the user. As a
result, it provides benefits such as low latency and high bandwidth while
still providing the benefits of cloud computing, making it lucrative for
low-latency, real-time / safety-critical applications. However, a higher
degree of determinism is desired for cloud and edge technologies to be
fully embraced by the real-time / safety-critical industry. This calls
for new techniques and methodologies to design predictable and reliable
cloud/edge technologies and applications.

The RT-cloud workshop aims to bring together industrial and academic
researchers and become a forum for discussion on topics related to real-
time cloud/edge/fog and virtualization techniques. This year, the
workshop will have a focus on industrial cloud use cases. The workshop
also welcomes short and full papers that consider:

- New technologies, innovative approaches/ideas, including work-in-progress
- Open problems and upcoming challenges
- Regulations and standards
- Demos and tutorials, especially, for open-source projects
- Call to actions
- Experimental reports on existing technologies, including negative ones

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ML-RT Agenda
Towards a research agenda for learning-enabled
safety-critical real-time systems

www.ecrts.org/ml-rt-agenda-workshop
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This workshop seeks to identify some central scientific issues that arise at the
interface of Machine Learning and safety-critical real-time systems, that are of
likely interest to the real-time computing community. The objective is to work
towards defining a research agenda that both (1) builds upon the technical
competencies of the real-time systems community to address problems that must be
solved so as to enable the safe and effective use of technologies and components
based on Deep Learning and related AI technologies; and (2) looks to Machine
Learning to further enrich the technical competencies of the real-time systems
community.

A diverse set of activities and contributions are planned including invited
keynotes, short talks, working sessions, and open discussions. To make the best
of the day, we will primarily focus on two research themes (corresponding to the
two enumerated objectives above):

(1) How can the expertise that is available in the real-time computing
community help solve problems that arise when Learning-Enabled Components are
used in safety-critical real-time systems?
(2) How can recent developments in
Machine Learning be adapted to further enrich the repertoire of techniques that
are currently in use in the real-time systems community?

and form working sessions around them. Each working session will have a keynote
and a few (invited/ contributed) short talks, followed by open discussions.

The 36th Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS’24) will be held in Lille, France on July 9-12, 2024. Prior to the conference, ECRTS will feature a workshop day on July 9.
Papers on all aspects of timing requirements in computer systems are welcome. Systems of interest include not only hard real-time systems but also time-sensitive systems in general (e.g., systems with soft requirements expressed in terms of tail latency, latency SLAs, QoS expectations, etc.). Typical applications are found not only in classical embedded and cyber-physical systems, but also increasingly in cloud or edge computing contexts, and often stem from domains such as automotive, avionics, telecommunications, healthcare, robotics, and space systems, among others. To be in scope, papers must address some form of timing requirement, broadly construed.
ECRTS welcomes theoretical and practical contributions (including tools, benchmarks, and case studies) to the state of the art in the design, implementation, verification, and validation of time-sensitive systems. We particularly encourage papers on industrial case studies and the application of real-time technology to real systems.
We welcome practical contributions even without novel theoretical insights or formal proofs, provided they are of interest to the research community and/or industry. Whenever relevant, we encourage authors to present experimental results (preferably based on real data, but synthetic test cases are acceptable when properly motivated).
