THEME AND TOPICS OF INTEREST
The twenty-fourth EUROMICRO Conference on Real-Time Systems
(ECRTS’12) is a forum aimed at covering state-of-the-art research and
development in real-time computing. Papers on all aspects of real-
time systems are welcome. These include, but are not limited to:
APPLICATIONS: consumer electronics; multimedia and entertainment;
process control; avionics, aerospace; automotive; telecommunications;
cyber-physical systems.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND HARDWARE: communication networks; embedded
devices; hardware/software co-design; power-aware and other resource-
constrained techniques; system-on-chip; time engines and time
synchronization; wireless sensor networks.
SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES: compiler support; component-based approaches;
middleware and distribution technologies; programming languages and
operating systems.
SYSTEM DESIGN AND ANALYSIS: modelling and formal methods;
probabilistic analysis; quality of service support; reliability,
security and survivability; scheduling and schedulability analysis;
worst-case execution time analysis; validation and verification
techniques.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Full papers must be submitted electronically through our web form in
a pdf format. The material must be unpublished and not under
submission elsewhere. Submissions must be in the same format as in
the final published proceedings (10 pages maximum, 2 columns, 10 pt).
Papers exceeding the page limit will not be reviewed. Note that the
submission deadline is a firm deadline and will not be extended.
A selection of the best papers will receive outstanding paper awards,
and will be highlighted as such in the conference proceedings. These
papers will form the shortlist for a best paper award, which will be
presented at the conference. At ECRTS’12, we aim to be more inclusive
and thus accept a larger number of high quality papers than in recent
years.
CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
Following a successful tradition at ECRTS, there will be a special
Work in Progress (WiP) session. This session is intended for
presentation of recent and on-going work. There will also be a
continuation of a number of successful Satellite Workshops including:
OSPERT – Operating Systems Platforms for Embedded Real-Time
applications, WCET – Worst-Case Execution Time analysis, RTN – Real-
Time Networks, WATERS – Workshop on Analysis Tools and methodologies
for Embedded and Real-time Systems, and RTSOPS – Real-Time Scheduling
Open Problems Seminar. A separate call for papers will be issued
later for both the WiP session and satellite workshops. Please visit
the website at ecrts12.ecrts.org for details.

LOCAL INFORMATION
Pisa is located in Tuscany, close to the coast and just 80 km from
Florence. It is a university city with a population of nearly 100,000
(including 40,000 students – not all of whom are resident). Once a
Marine Republic, Pisa stretches along the shores of the Arno River,
and occupies a place of honour amongst the most exclusive of art
cities. Its glorious past offers authentic wonders to the tourist,
and there is a lot more to see than just the leaning Tower of Pisa,
its most popular ‘product’. Pisa is very well connected: it has an
international airport, “Galileo Galilei”, located 2 km from the city
centre, with frequent flights to many European airports operated by
major flight companies, including discount airlines. The railway
station is located on the main line from Turin to Rome and there is a
very frequent train service to and from Florence. Further information
