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

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 The material must be unpublished and not under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

 The 15th DATE conference and exhibition is the main European event bringing
together designers and design automation users, researchers and vendors, as
well as specialists in the hardware and software design, test and
manufacturing of electronic circuits and systems.

The five-day event consists of a conference with plenary invited papers,
regular papers, panels, hot-topic sessions, tutorials and workshops, two
special focus days and a track for executives. The scientific conference is
complemented by a commercial exhibition. The organisation of user group
meetings, fringe meetings, a university booth, a PhD forum, vendor
presentations and social events offers a wide variety of extra opportunities
to meet and exchange information. Special space will also be allocated for
EU-funded projects to show their results.

You are invited to submit your research contributions to the Topic

Real-time, Networked and Dependable Systems

which is devoted to techniques, tools and methodologies to design and
analyse real-time networked and dependable embedded systems. Area of interest
include real-time scheduling; energy aware real-time embedded systems; rtos and
middleware; timing analysis; design methodologies; real-time multi-core
systems; formal methods for real-time systems; wireless sensor networks;
real-time network protocols.

Detailed descriptions of all other topics and submission information are
found on the conference web page:

http://www.date-conference.com/authors-instructions_cfp

Papers can be submitted for either formal oral presentation or for
interactive presentation. Oral presentations require novel and complete
research work supported by experimental results. Interactive presentations
are expected to articulate emerging and future design, verification and test
problems including work in progress and identify open problems that merit
innovative future research.

Submissions should not exceed 6 pages in length for oral-presentation papers
and 4 pages in length for interactive-presentation papers. Submission of 2
page papers in topic A7 (Industrial Experiences Brief Papers) will also be
considered.
