Track 3. Real Time and Networked Embedded Systems

Track Co-Chairs:
Ahlem Mifdaoui, Universite de Toulouse/ISAE, France, ahlem.mifdaoui@isae.fr Marko Bertogna, University of Modena, Italy, marko.bertogna@unimore.it

Focus of the Track: Embedded systems are increasingly used to realize complex functionality, distributed intelligence and adaptive behavior.
New functions can be deployed taking advantage of ubiquitous connectivity and networks. The design of these systems must cope with the need to manage functional complexity together with real-time, power and reliability constraints.

Topics within the scope of the track:
Contributions for the track on real-time and (networked) embedded systems (RTNES) are sought in, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Theory and technology in RTNES: Real-time computing, operating systems and communications; Networked embedded systems technology; Parallel and Distributed Embedded Systems; Multi/Many-Core Embedded Systems; Timing and Schedulability Analysis; Wireless sensor networks; Cyber physical systems.
• Design and methods in RTNES: Design and implementation; Design methodologies and tools; Components and platforms; Models of computation and formal methods; Hardware/software co-design; Verification and validation methods.
• Architectures of RTNES: Distributed and System-on-Chip architectures including communication and NoC architecture designs and protocols; static and dynamic reconfigurable RT systems; Context-aware applications and Self-adaptive architectures.
• Algorithms and control in RTNES: Energy management; Data integration and fusion; Communication modes; Quality of service control; Compensation mechanisms for aging and temperature; Fault-Tolerant systems.
• Case studies in RTNES: Industrial automation, Automotive, Avionics, Communications, E-Health and Building Automation Systems
