Call
for Papers for RTCSA 2009
The
15th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing
Systems and Applications
August
24 to 26, 2009
Beijing, China
Embedded software has become a necessity in almost
every aspect of the daily lives of individuals and organizations, from
self-contained applications to those embedded in various devices and
services (mobile phones, vital sign sensors, medication dispensers,
home appliances, engine ignition systems, etc). A large proportion of
these systems are mission/life critical and performance sensitive.
The 15th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time
Computing Systems and Applications (RTCSA 2009) will bring together
researchers and developers from academia and industry for advancing the
technology of embedded and real-time systems, and ubiquitous computing
applications. The conference has the following goals: to investigate
advances in embedded and real-time systems and ubiquitous computing
applications; to promote interaction among the areas of embedded
computing, real-time computing and ubiquitous computing; to evaluate
the maturity and directions of embedded and real-time system and
ubiquitous computing technology. RTCSA 2009 invites submissions of
papers presenting a high quality original research and development for
the conference tracks: (1) Real-time Systems, (2) Ubiquitous Computing,
and (3)Embedded Systems.
This year, RTCSA 2009 will be co-located with UCS 2009 and be held at Beijing. Similar
to earlier RTCSA conference, there will be three days parallel tracks
program, satellite workshops/tutorials, and panel discussion.
Authors of selected papers from RTCSA 2009 will be
invited to submit an extended version, and the best of these will form
a special issue in the
Journal of Systems Architecture: Embedded Software Design (Elsevier).
Scopes:
Following the tradition of RTCSA, the conference has three tracks:
embedded systems, real-time systems, and ubiquitous computing.
The interested topics include:
Embedded Systems Track:
- Software design and debugging for heterogeneous multi-core embedded
platform

- System integration/collaboration for systems of embedded systems
- Operating systems and scheduling
- System-on-chip design
- HW/SW co-design
- Power/thermal-aware design issues
- Embedded multimedia applications
- Embedded system design practices
- Networks-on-chip design
- Embedded system architecture
- Design optimization (memory, performance etc.)
Real-Time Systems Track:
- Real-time operating systems
- Real-time scheduling
- Timing analysis
- Databases
- Programming languages and run-time systems
- Middleware systems
- Design and analysis tools
- Communication networks and protocols
- Case studies and applications
- Media processing and transmissions
- Real-time aspects of Wireless sensor networks
- Energy aware real-time methods
Ubiquitous Computing Track:
- Real-time issues in ubiquitous computing
- Tools, Infrastructures and Architectures for Ubiquitous Computing
- Devices and Enabling Technologies for Ubiquitous Computing
- Applications of Wireless Sensor Networks
- Ubiquitous Computing Applications
- User Interfaces and Interaction Design Issues for Ubiquitous
Computing
- Privacy and Security Issues and implications of Ubiquitous Computing
- Location-dependent and context-aware computing
- Evaluation Methods for Ubiquitous Computing devices, systems, and
applications
