The 7th International Real-Time Scheduling Open Problems Seminar (RTSOPS 2016) provides a venue for the exchange of ideas and the discussion of interesting unsolved problems in real-time scheduling. To promote a spirit of co-operation and collaboration within the real-time scheduling community, the seminar is organized around presentation and collaboration sessions. Each presentation session provides the opportunity to hear about a number of unsolved problems in real-time scheduling, highlighted via brief presentations. The following collaboration session gives participants the opportunity to interact in small groups, exchange ideas with the presenters, explore how the problems might be solved, and take the first steps towards a solution.

Authors of open problem submissions from previous years' RTSOPS are invited to submit short status reports on progress made towards a solution to their open problem. This year's seminar will include a session for presentation of such advances.

Abstracts may be submitted describing well-known but as yet unsolved problems. However, all abstracts should contain some element of original work that has not been published before; for example, a new problem, a new way of looking at an existing problem, new intuition or ideas on how a problem might be solved, possible frameworks for solutions, or overviews of special cases that may be useful in solving a problem. Abstracts describing progress on an open problem presented at previous RTSOPS meetings should include a brief statement of the open problem and a description of the technical advances made towards a solution. For detailed submission instructions please refer to the workshop webpage (http://www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/rtsops2016/).

Authors of accepted abstracts are expected to give a brief presentation of their open problem, and be prepared to work on the problem with other participants during the collaboration sessions. By submitting an extended abstract, the authors agree and confirm that: neither this extended abstract nor a version close to it is under submission or will be submitted elsewhere before notification by RTSOPS 2016, and if accepted, at least one author will register for the RTSOPS 2016 seminar by the special registration deadline set in the notification of acceptance, and present the open problem at the seminar in person.
