Workshop: September 16, 2014

Aim: The VtRES workshop provides a forum for researchers and technologists to discuss the state-of-the-art, present their work and contributions, and set future directions in virtualization for real-time embedded systems.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Efficient design and implementation of VMMs in terms of timing constraints, QoS assurance, runtime overhead and energy consumption requirements.
• Extending VMMs to support virtualization for embedded systems.
• Supporting virtualization for advanced hardware technologies such as multi-core/many-core, GPU, high-speed network communication media and devices, etc.
• VMM performance tuning based on applications' load types.
• Virtualizing networks.
• Device sharing between virtual machines, including e.g., I/O and field busses.
• Methods for achieving advanced features found in server virtualization, such as live migration, with predictable real-time performance.
• Modeling and analysis of virtualized applications.
• Fault tolerance techniques in virtualized environments.
• Tools relevant to virtualization.
• Case studies of applications on virtualized platforms.
• Deployment studies of virtualization technologies.
• Novel use and application of virtualization for embedded real-time systems.
• System level virtualization solutions.
• Supporting service level virtualization for distributed real-time systems.

Submission of Papers
--------------------------------
VtRES invites papers that present novel ideas in virtualization for real- time systems, survey the state-of-the-art, present work-in-progress, and discuss open issues. All papers should be formatted as single-space, double-column, in a 10 point font and max 8 pages (see the ETFA webpage).
Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF format. The accepted papers will be published in the ETFA'2014 conference proceedings online at IEEExplore.
