Cfp: 11 IEEE Symposium on Industrial Embedded Systems - Special Session on Mixed-criticality Systems
CALL FOR PAPERS
SIES'2016 - 11th IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Embedded Systems
Special Session "Mixed-criticality Systems"
23-25 May 2016 | Krakov, Poland | http://sies2016.org
Sponsored by:
IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation and AGH Univ. of Science & Technology in Krakow
Organizer: Roman Obermaisser, University of Siegen, Germany
Aim: Modern electronic systems, such as ground-vehicles, aircraft, or space vehicles combine a multitude of distributed applications with
varying safety and real-time requirements. Even in high-end consumer cars we already find high criticality control applications as well as low criticality audio/video applications. Another example would be a space vehicle, like a satellite, that for weight reasons aims at using the same physical wiring for control data and video data. A similar weight- and, therefore, cost-reduction argument holds true for novel avionics systems.
In general, these systems are called mixed-criticality systems, and it is the traditional federated approach to realize private networks for
individual applications to avoid interference between criticality levels. In order to use the on-board resources more efficiently, the trend
throughout industrial areas is towards integrated architectures, for example Distributed Integrated Modular Avionics (DIMA) and the
Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR). Mixed-criticality architectures with support for modular certification make the integration of application subsystems with different safety assurance levels both technically and economically feasible. In particular, mixed-criticality architectures must deal with the heterogeneity of subsystems that differ not only in their criticality, but also in the underlying computational models and timing models (e.g., sporadic event-based control and periodic control functions).
Focus: The focus of the special session is on research in architectures and applications for embedded systems with mixed-criticality
requirements. Suggested topics of interest include (but are not restricted to) :
- fault isolation mechanisms at network level
- fault isolation mechanisms at operating system level and middleware level
- scheduling real-time mixed-criticality jobs
- timing analysis in mixed-criticality systems
- computer-network interfaces
- certification aspects (e.g., modular certification)
- applications and case studies (e.g., in avionic and automotive systems)
- cross-industry usage
- validation/verification of mixed criticality systems
- tool support and standardization aspects
Submission of Papers: Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF format, according to the instructions contained in the Conference web site. Contributions
must contain original unpublished work. Papers that have been concurrently submitted to other conferences or journals (double submissions) will be automatically rejected.
Two types of submissions are solicited:
- Long Papers - from 6 to 10 double-column pages (typically 8 pages).
- Work-in-Progress Papers - limited to 4 double-column pages. For further details, please consult the conference web pages.
Paper Acceptance: Each accepted paper must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. The final manuscript must be
accompanied by a registration form and a registration fee payment proof. All conference attendees, including authors and session
chairpersons, must pay the conference registration fee, and their travel expenses.
