CALL FOR PAPERS

International Workshop on Real Time Software (RTS'08)
http://www.rts.imcsit.org
Wisla, Poland, October 20-22, 2008

Organized within the framework of the International Multiconference on
Computer Science and Information Systems and co-located with the XXIV
Autumn Meeting of the Polish Information Processing Society.

Proliferation of computers interfacing with real world and controlling 
their environment requires careful investigation of approaches related 
to the specification, design, implementation, testing, and use of modern 
computer systems. Timing constraints, dependability, fault-tolerance, 
interfacing with the environment, reliability and safety constitute 
integral components of the software development process. Appropriate 
education of engineers developing such systems, working in 
interdisciplinary teams and in a global environment is of paramount 
importance.
In addition to traditional papers, we plan to organize a round table 
discussion forum on safety critical aspects of the education/training. 
We are soliciting brief one-page position papers on education and 
training of engineers developing dependable software intensive systems - 
presenting the views of academia and industry (in the submission clearly 
identity the "position paper" for the engineering education round table 
discussion). The accepted position papers will be a base for 10 minutes 
presentation followed by a discussion.

The workshop is planned around three main focus areas:
Real-Time Control
Safety, Reliability, and Dependability
Real-Time Education

Traditional Papers topics include but are not limited to:
Real-time system development
Scheduling
Safety
Reliability
Dependability
Fault-tolerance
Feedback control real-time scheduling
Hardware-software co-design
Standards and certification
Control software
Robotics and UAV
Software development tools
Model-based development
Automatic code generation
Real-time systems education
Related engineering curricula
Laboratory infrastructure
Internet-based support


Paper Submission and Publication

* Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file).
* The total length of a paper should not exceed 10 pages (LNCS style). 
LNCS style templates are available at the workshop WWW site.
* Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific 
merit and relevance to the symposium.
* Accepted and presented papers will be included in the Conference 
Proceedings and published on a CD (ISSN 1896-7094).
* Extended versions of selected papers will be published as Special 
Issues of journals that will be announced later.
