Call for papers - ERTS² 2016
Call for papers and exhibitions
Embedded Real Time Software and Systems (ERTS2 2016)
27 - 29 January 2016, Toulouse - France
Abstract submission Deadline: June 22nd, 2015
The ERTS2 congress is a unique European cross sector event on Embedded Software and Systems, a platform for top-level scientists with representatives from universities, research centers and industries. The previous editions gathered each more than 100 talks, 500 participants and 60 exhibitors.ERTS2 is both:
- a conference with high level scientific and technical presentations,
- an exhibition forum covering a wide range of innovative products and services, for improving direct relationship between providers and users,
- a unique community spirit: knowledge sharing, unforgettable moments and networking opportunities.
The late Jean-Claude Laprie was ERTS2 Programme Committee chairman from 2002 to 2010 and brought ERTS2 to its actual international reputation. Joseph Sifakis has taken over as Programme Committee chairman of the congress since 2012.The eighth edition targets all the domains where embedded systems are crucial, especially, but not limited to, transportation (aeronautics, automotive, railway, subway, marine), satellite and space exploration, energy, telecommunications
and wireless connectivity, e-healthcare, home automation, defence, industrial control.
