IEEE RTCSA 2017

THE 23RD IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EMBEDDED AND REAL-TIME COMPUTING SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS

RTCSA 2017 is going to be held in Hsinchu, Taiwan and organized by NCTU. The RTCSA conference series carry on with the tradition and bring together researchers and developers from academia and industry for advancing the technology of embedded and real-time systems and their emerging applications, including the Internet of things and cyber-physical systems.

RTCSA seeks both research and industry track papers that describe research or technical aspects in the area of embedded and real-time systems. Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. More information on RTCSA 2017 can be found at http://www.rtcsa.org/

[Sponsors]
IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee of Real-Time Systems, IEEE Technical Committee on Cyber-Physical Systems, and Computer Society of the Republic of China.
