MOTIVATION
From office automation to industrial automation, Ethernet has been an
omnipresent networking technology for many years. Its attractive high
throughput, low cost, wide availability and general maturity are
still pushing it to other application domains, such as embedded
systems and cyber-physical systems in general (avionics, automotive
systems, medical equiment...), many of which entail timing
constraints and require thus real-time communications capabilities.
However, when using COTS Ethernet switches, network interface cards
and IP stacks, guaranteeing real-time behavior is still challenging
due to possible uncontrolled packet arrival patterns and generalized
poor queue management.
This motivated a strong research activity in recent years towards
providingEthernet-based real-time communication solutions, the so
called Real-Time Ethernet (RTE) protocols. Despite the myriad of
solutions existing today, a few issues remain open, such as the
efficient use of the network bandwidth with heterogeneous traffic
profiles, resource reservation across large networks with channel
isolation, support of multiple operational modes and online bandwidth
management, provision of ultra-low jitter, support for high precision
time synchronization, efficient response-time analysis, to name just
a few.
OBJECTIVES
This workshop will foster discussion on actual timing requirements
and associated challenges from industrial cases, as well as on on-
going research in the development and analysis of Real-Time Ethernet
protocols particularly geared to distributed embedded systems.
FORMAT
The workshop will consist of sessions with invited speakers, only,
each session including a number of presentations and a panel to
push discussions.
