RTS'2001 
Real -Time Systems 

9th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on REAL-TIME SYSTEMS / RTS’2001

March 6-8, 2001, Paris, France (Paris-Expo, porte de Versailles)

Within the framework of RTS' 2001, trade show for real-time and embedded systems

Sponsored by the Group of Research on Architecture, Networks, Systems, and Parallel computing of CNRS

CALL FOR PAPERS

CONFERENCE AIM AND TOPICS

The purpose of the conference is to share ideas, experiences, and information among academic researchers, developers, and service providers in the field of REAL-TIME and EMBEDDED SYSTEMS.
The program committee is soliciting papers describing original work related to real-time. This call is particularly aimed at the applications, experimental or commercial systems, new problems including real-time constraints, emergent solutions, parallel or distributed architectures, theoretical bases and methodologies of construction and validation taking into account timing constraints. Thus all the proposals relating to real time in the following topics will be examined:

  • hardware architectures
  • networks, distributed systems
  • object-oriented methods and languages
  • specification, models, property proof, validation
  • design methods and languages
  • formal methods and techniques
  • methodologies and environments for developing, simulation, and test
  • task scheduling, and allocation, message scheduling
  • performance evaluation, benchmarking
  • middleware, operating systems
  • computer control systems
  • processing of signal and image
  • multimedia, virtual reality
  • dependability

 

However the program committee wishes put particular emphasis on the fields of applications that are most relevant today, i.e.:
· management of real-time in middleware, and incidence of tight timing constraints in applications having to manage fault-tolerance (for example: transaction processing, database management systems with distributed or replicated data, management of co-operation of groups)
· transportation systems, mobile systems
· quality of service and real-time in telecommunication networks, and co-operative applications.
