WATERS 2016
7th International Workshop on Analysis Tools and Methodologies for Embedded and Real-time Systems (WATERS 2016)
a satellite workshop of the 28th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2016)
The goal of the WATERS workshop series is to create a common ground and a community to share methodologies, software tools, best practices, data sets, application models, benchmarks and any other way to improve comparability of results in the current practice of research in real-time and embedded systems.
SCOPE
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Tools and methods for the analysis of real-time systems
- Realistic case studies and reusable data sets
- Comparative evaluation of existing algorithms and techniques
- Modelling, analysis and simulation of, possibly mixed-criticality, real-time, distributed, and embedded systems running on multi-core, many-core, massively parallel, or distributed systems
- Modelling, analysis and simulation of the various components of the run-time environment, including the operating system, the hypervisor, or complex middleware components
- Instrumentation, tracing methods and overhead analysis, including proper accounting of the overheads due to various virtualization technologies
- Power consumption models and experimental data for real-time power-aware systems
- Simulation, instrumentation and analysis of complex distributed systems infrastructures such as Cloud Computing infrastructures, when supporting real-time and QoS-aware applications
FOCUS OF THE 2016 EDITION
This year, WATERS will focus more closely on the following topics.
- Tool comparison: Lack of a common ground for experimentation is still an issue in many areas of real-time and embedded systems analysis. This makes evaluation and comparison of tools and methods difficult. The 2015 edition of WATERS ended with a discussion about an open and common input format for tools for real-time systems. We would like to take this one step further and encourage people to present, discuss and compare the characteristics of specific tools, and their integration with existing tool chains.
- Modeling methodologies: In the spirit of the final discussion at WATERS'15, we would like to emphasize the need for comprehensive and complete models. We encourage submissions that compare modeling techniques and analyze them in view of a comprehensive model specification that could enable many different type of analysis and synthesis.
