------------------------------------------------------------------------ - CALL FOR PAPERS - WIP@RTCSA 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Work in Progress Session The 17th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications August 29 to 31, 2011 Toyama, Japan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - CONFERENCE WEB SITE: http://www.rtcsa.org/ - http://www.jaist.ac.jp/rtcsa2011/index.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 30th June 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contributions to a special Work-in-Progress (WIP) session of RTCSA'11 are sought. The RTCSA'11 WIP session will be devoted to the presentation of new and on-going research into real-time systems and applications. We are especially interested in new and creative ideas and approaches. Contributors to the WIP session will be asked to give a short presentation of their work and prepare a poster/demo for the WIP discussion forum that will be held after the presentations. Accepted submissions will be included in a special RTCSA'11 WIP proceedings that will be distributed to all RTCSA'11 conference participants and available electronically from the Web. The primary purpose of this session is to provide researchers with an opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the embedded and real-time community at large. Submissions dealing with all aspects of embedded and real-time issues are welcome. These include, but are not limited to: EMBEDDED SYSTEMS: - 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: - 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: - 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to RTCSA WIP should describe original on-going work. The material must be unpublished and not under submission elsewhere. A submission process consists of the below steps: 1) Abstract submission The abstract submission must include below contents: - Paper title - Authors' full names - Authors' affiliations - Abstract text (300-400 words) - Contact information (e-mail addresses) - Preferred presentation style: poster or demo The abstract must be sent to rtcsa2011-wip@googlegroups.com in a plain text format. * Authors can send a PDF file with a main manuscript instead of the abstract-only text, in advance to the camera ready submission. Please refer the step 3 to format your paper. 2) Acceptance notification An acceptance notification will be delivered to authors upon the abstract review. 3) Camera ready paper submission Accepted authors need to prepare a 2-pager camera ready paper for final submission. The paper must be in the same format as in the final published proceedings (paper size 8.5" x 11", two-column format, font size 10). The layout should conform to the IEEE format for conference proceedings, (see the IEEE formatting guidelines http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting/ and must be limited to a maximum of 4 pages. Further instructions will be stated besides the acceptance notification. If accepted, at least one author will provide a registration, and present the paper at the conference in person. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract submission deadline: 30th June 2011 (11:59 pm) Notification: 2nd July 2011 Camera ready copy: 22nd July 2011 RTCSA Conference: 29-31st August 2011 * All dates are in the Japanese Standard Time (UTC+9) format. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - WORK-IN-PROGRESS SESSION CO-CHAIR ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tetsuo Yamabe, Waseda University, Japan Tatsuo Nakajima, Waseda University, Japan Contact: rtcsa2011-wip@googlegroups.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------
