THEME AND TOPICS OF INTEREST

The eighteen EUROMICRO Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 06) is a forum aimed at covering state-of-the-art research and development in real-time computing. Papers on all aspects of real-time systems are welcome. These include, but are not limited to:

APPLICATIONS:
consumer electronics; multimedia and entertainment; process control; avionics, aerospace; automotive; telecommunications.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND HARDWARE:
communication networks; embedded devices; hardware/software co-design; power-aware and other resource-constrained techniques; systems on chip; time engines and time synchronization; wireless sensor networks.
SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES:
compiler support; component-based approaches; middleware and distribution technologies; programming languages, real-time operating systems.
SYSTEM DESIGN AND ANALYSIS:
model-driven development of embedded RT systems; formal methods; probabilistic analysis for RT systems; quality of service support; reliability, security and survivability in RT systems; scheduling and schedulability analysis; worst-case execution time analysis; validation techniques.

This year, we particularly encourage submission of papers on industrial case studies, application of real-time technology on realistic systems, real-time operating systems implementations.

In addition to standard evalutation, an Advisory Board of representatives from industries and funding agencies has been appointed to evaluate papers with respect to industrial or strategic impact.
