Call for papers and exhibitions: ERTS² 2018 Embedded Real Time Software and Systems

CALL FOR PAPERS AND EXHIBITIONS - Abstract submission Extended to July 9, 2017

Embedded Real Time Software and Systems ( ERTS2 2018)

Jan 31st - Feb 2nd 2018 | Toulouse - France | http://www.erts2018.org

The ERTS2 congress created by the late Jean-Claude Laprie in 2002 is a unique European cross sector event on Embedded Software and Systems, a platform for top-level scientists with representatives from universities, research centres, agencies and industries. The previous editions gathered 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 conference encourages submission of research contribution, research - industrial transfer, industrial feed backs on new technologies and position papers on major trends. The ninth edition targets all the domains where embedded systems are crucial, such as especially, but not limited to, transportation (aeronautics, automotive, railway, subway, marine, unmanned vehicle, satellite and space exploration), telecommunications and wireless connectivity, Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial control, Defence, e-healthcare and home automation. This edition focuses on publications bringing innovative ideas cross-fertilizing intelligent transportation and IoT.

Original, unpublished regular papers are solicited. Selection will be based firstly on the review of extended abstract (4 pages) followed by the review of the full paper (10 pages) for final acceptance. Accepted regular papers will be published in the proceedings and presented in an oral session at the conference (registration by at least one author is mandatory). Short papers reporting on research work in progress are also solicited. Selection will be based on the review of the full short paper (4 pages). Each accepted short paper will be published in the proceedings and presented as poster at the conference (registration by at least one author is mandatory).

Major domains of interest:

• Critical Transportation Systems: Intelligent transportation system, Vehicle automation, Autonomous and connected systems (including all type of unmanned vehicle), Cyber physical systems, Innovative specific architectures (including back end and big data architecture), Mobile robotics, Cyber-security for mobile and back-end systems.
• Internet of Things (IoT): Smart devices, Smart grids, Smart buildings, Predictable networking infrastructure, Low power devices, New telecommunication interface, Specific architectures.
• Digital Manufacturing: Smart factory, Plant digitalization, Interoperability and integration of cyber physical systems, 3D printing, Machine-to-machine communication and architecture, Digital assistance and monitoring, Maintenance prediction.

Major topics of interest:

• Embedded computing platforms and networked systems: Distributed architectures, Multi-core/ many- core platforms, FPGA, Embedded network, Middleware, Virtualization, Service-oriented platforms, Energy-aware management.
• Processes, methods and tools: Agile techniques, Adaptive systems and Artificial intelligence, Model- based system engineering, Virtual engineering and simulation, Formal methods, Requirement engineering, Product line engineering, New programming and verification languages.
• Dependability: Safety, Security, Quality of service, Fault tolerance, Maintainability, Diagnostic generation, Monitoring, Certification.
• Human System Interaction: User interfaces for command and control systems, Human error evaluation, User-centred design, Automation design and Function allocation.
