The 10th RTCSA conference (Real-time
and Embedded
Computing Systems and Applications Conference) will bring together
researchers and developers from academia and industry for advancing the
technology of real-time and embedded computing systems and applications. The
conference has the following goals:
to investigate advances in real-time systems and applications;
to promote interaction among real-time systems and applications;
to evaluate the maturity and directions of real-time system
technology.
RTCSA'04 seeks papers that describe original research in the area of
real-time and embedded systems. This include, but is not limited to:
operating systems and middleware
quality of service and scheduling
software engineering
fault-tolerance and distributed systems
embedded and real-time databases
programming languages and run-time systems
component-based systems
formal methods, and design and analysis tools
sensor networks, communication networks and protocols
real-time control and sensing
hardware software co-design and system on a chip
power consumption
case studies
Conference Format
The conference will comprise invited talks and oral
presentations. Papers accepted to the conference will be published in the
conference proceedings as a volume in the Lecture Notes Series by
Springer-Verlag. Selected papers will be published in a special issue of embedded systems journal.
Proposals for panel sessions are also solicited.
Submissions
Papers should be full papers describing original research;
papers describing new ideas, promising approaches, experiences with
practical and research systems are considered particularly appropriate. Full
papers should be submitted electronically through our web form in a pdf
or postscript format. The material must be unpublished and not under
submission elsewhere. The paper should not exceed 5000 words and 20 pages in
double-line spacing format. Please note that papers exceeding such limits
may not be considered for review.
