RTCSA 2013: Call for Papers
Tue, 01/08/2013 - 10:56am
The 19th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and
Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications, August
19 - 22, 2013, Taipei, Taiwan
Embedded software has become a necessity in almost every
aspect of our daily life. The types of embedded software
range from self-contained applications to those embedded in
various devices and services, such as mobile phones, vital
sign sensors, medication dispensers, home appliances,
engine ignition systems, etc. Many such systems are mission
/life-critical and performance-sensitive. The 19th IEEE
International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing
Systems and Applications (RTCSA 2013) will bring together
researchers and developers from academia and industry for
the advancing of the technology of embedded and real-time
systems, and ubiquitous computing applications. The conference
aims at the investigation of the advances in embedded and
real-time systems and ubiquitous computing applications, the
promoting of interaction among people in the areas of embedded
computing, real-time computing and ubiquitous computing, and
the evaluating of the maturity and directions of embedded and
real-time system and ubiquitous computing technology. RTCSA
2013 invites submissions of papers with a high quality original
research and development for the conference tracks:
(1) Embedded Systems, (2) Real-time Systems, and (3) Ubiquitous
Computing/Cyber-physical Systems.
SCOPES: Following the tradition of IEEE RTCSA, the conference
has three tracks: embedded systems, real-time systems, and
ubiquitous computing. The topics of interest include, but are
not limited to:
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS TRACK:
-System level design and HW/SW co-design
-Embedded system design practices
-Operating systems and scheduling
-Software and compiler issues for heterogeneous multi-core
embedded platform
-Embedded system architecture
-Networks-on-chip design
-Power/thermal-aware design issues
-Memory issues for multi-core embedded platform
-Hardware and software techniques for fault tolerance
-Reconfigurable computing architecture and software support
REAL-TIME SYSTEMS TRACK:
-Real-time operating systems
-Real-time scheduling
-Timing analysis
-Programming languages and run-time systems
-Middleware systems
-Design and analysis tools
-Communication networks and protocols
-Media processing and transmissions
-Real-time aspects of wireless sensor networks
-Energy aware real-time methods
-Databases
-Case studies and applications
UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING/CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS TRACK:
-Real-time issues in ubiquitous computing and cyber-physical
systems
-Tools, infrastructures and architectures for ubiquitous
computing and cyber-physical systems
-Devices and enabling technologies for ubiquitous computing
and cyber-physical systems
-Design and verification methodologies for cyber-physical systems
-Applications of wireless sensor networks
-Ubiquitous computing applications
-Cyber-physical systems applications
-User interfaces and interaction design issues for ubiquitous
computing
-Privacy and security issues and implications of ubiquitous
computing
-Location-dependent and context-aware computing
-Evaluation methods for ubiquitous computing devices, systems,
and applications
Regular Paper Submission:
The submitted manuscript must describe original work not
previously published and not concurrently submitted elsewhere.
Submissions should be no more than 10 pages in the IEEE
conference proceedings format (two-column, single-space, 10pt).
All accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. The
prospective authors should submit their papers through
Work-in-Progress Session:
This session provides an opportunity for researchers attending
IEEE RTCSA to present and discuss their research. More detailed
information is available on the web.
ACM TECS Special issue:
There will be a special issue of RTCSA in ACM Transactions of
Embedded Computing Systems. Selected best papers will be
invited to submit an extended version to the special issue
for further review. More information on the special issue
please see http://www.rtcsa.org/
