Call for Papers

The 15th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and
Real-Time
Computing Systems and Applications (RTCSA 2009)

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.

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
- Multi-thread programming for 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
