23rd IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS) April 18-21, 2017 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA IMPORTANT DATES Submissions: Oct 13th 11:59pm, 2016 (UTC-12) - strictly enforced Notifications: Dec 20th, 2016 Camera-ready papers due: February 16th, 2017, 11:59pm (UTC-12) Conference dates: April 18-21, 2017 URL http://2017.rtas.org/ CALL FOR PAPERS RTAS '17, the 23rd in a series of annual conferences sponsored by the IEEE, will be held in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, as part of the Cyber-Physical Systems Week (CPSWeek) in April, 2017. CPS Week 2017 will bring together leading conferences, including the International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN '17), the International Conference on Hybrid Systems (HSCC '17), the International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS '17) and RTAS '17. RTAS '17 invites papers describing original systems and applications, case studies, methodologies and applied algorithms that contribute to the state of practice in the broad field of embedded and open real-time systems and computing. The scope of RTAS '17 consists of three tracks: Track 1: Applications, RTOSs, Run-Time Software and Tools, Track 2: Applied Methodologies and Foundations, and Track 3: Embedded Systems Design for Real-Time Applications. Details of the requirements that each track places on submitted papers can be found on the conference website. PAPER SUBMISSION All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format, following the IEEE conference proceedings format and must describe original work not previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere. The main body of each submitted paper is limited to 10 pages. Additionally, each submission may include an optional appendix with supplemental material that will be read at the discretion of the program committee; this appendix is limited to two pages (for 12 pages in total). Further details of submission requirements can be found on the conference website. CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS The conference includes a Work in Progress (WiP) and Demo session with posters. This session is intended for presentation of recent and ongoing work, as well of demonstrations of tools and technology that have the potential to be used in the design and development of real-time systems. PROCEEDINGS The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE and indexed on IEEE Explore.
