CFP: RTAS 2012 Work-in-Progress Session

The Work-in-Progress (WiP) session at RTAS 2012 will be dedicated to new and on-
going research in real-time and embedded technology and applications. Following
the scope of the main symposium, topics covering areas of real-time and embedded
technology, including applications, systems, tools, methodologies, foundations,
wireless sensor networks, and hardware-software co-design will be of interest.

The primary purpose of the WiP session is to provide researchers and developers
with an opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the
real-time systems community at large. The authors of all accepted papers will be
required to give a short talk at an oral session, followed by presenting their
work at a poster session. Proceedings containing all the accepted papers will be
distributed at the symposium.

Important Dates

Submission deadline: 15 January, 2012
Acceptance notification: 15 February, 2012
Final manuscript deadline: 7 March, 2012
Slide and poster deadline: TBD
WiP session: 16-19 April, 2012

NSF solicits proposals for the CPS program

The goal of the CPS program is to develop the core system science needed to engineer complex cyber-physical systems upon which people can depend with high confidence. The program aims to foster a research community committed to advancing research and education in CPS and to transitioning CPS science and technology into engineering practice. By abstracting from the particulars of specific systems and application domains, the CPS program aims to reveal cross-cutting fundamental scientific and engineering principles that underpin the integration of cyber and physical elements across all application sectors. To expedite and accelerate the realization of cyber-physical systems in a wide range of applications, the CPS program also supports the development of methods, tools, and hardware and software components based upon these cross-cutting principles, along with validation of the principles via prototypes and test beds.

More details: NSF link

Important dates

* Full Proposal Window: February 15, 2012 – March 15, 2012
* Full Proposal Window: December 17, 2012 – January 22, 2013
* Proposals will be accepted only within these windows.

CFP: RTSS 2012

IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS) is the premier conference in the area of real-time systems, presenting innovations in the field with respect to theory and practice. RTSS provides a forum for the presentation of high-quality, original research covering all aspects of real-time systems design, analysis, implementation, evaluation, and experiences. RTSS’12 continues the trend of making RTSS an expansive and inclusive symposium, looking to embrace new and emerging areas of real-time systems research.

RTSS 2012 welcomes submissions in all areas of real-time systems, including but not limited to operating systems, networks, middleware, compilers, tools, modeling, scheduling, QoS support, resource management, testing and debugging, hardware/software co-design, fault tolerance, security, power and thermal management, embedded platforms, and system experimentation and deployment experiences.

In addition to the main real-time track, we will continue the successful format of previous years with three specialized tracks:
* Cyber-physical systems
* Design and Verification
* Wireless Sensor Networks
Although authors will choose which tracks to submit papers to, a paper may be redirected to a more appropriate track. All papers will appear in the main program and proceedings.

Important dates

* May 15, 2012 – FIRM Submission Deadline
* August 1, 2012 – Notification of Acceptance
* September 15, 2012 – Camera-ready Deadline
* December 4, 2012 – Workshops
* December 5 to December 7, 2012 – Symposium

Organizing Committee

* General Chair – Luis Almeida, University of Porto
* Program Chair – Chenyang Lu, Washington University
