Call for Papers: <> The 28th IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS 2007) December 3-6, 2007 Tucson, Arizona, USA Submission Deadline: May 18th, 2007 Website: www.rtss.org (please visit for more detail) Scope -------- The 28th IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS) in Tucson will follow the format of recent RTSSs, with several tracks. RTSS is the premier conference in the area of real-time computing, presenting innovations in the field with respect to theory and practice. 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'07 continues the trend of making RTSS an expansive and inclusive symposium, looking to embrace new and emerging areas of real-time systems research. RTSS'07 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. In addition to the main real-time track, this year we will continue with the successful format of previous years with three specialized tracks: * Architecture and Composibility for Cyber-Physical Systems * Hardware/Software Interaction and Co-design * Sensor Networks and Applications Paper submissions should be no more than 10 pages in two-column, single-space, 10pt format that describe original work not previously published and not concurrently submitted elsewhere.
