Research on innovative RTOS architectures and services is a hot topic. Developers of Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) are faced with many challenges arising from two opposing needs: extreme optimisation of resource usage (processor, energy, network bandwidth, etc.) and dynamic configuration, flexible scheduling, component-based development and deployment, etc. While real-time systems continue to be used in many small embedded applications, real-time services are being introduced and used in general-purpose operating systems. Notable examples are the various flavours of Linux that provide support to time-sensitive applications.
This workshop is intended as a forum for researchers and practitioners of RTOS to discuss the recent advances in RTOS technology and the challenges that lie ahead.
Topics include but are not limited to:
* Dynamic reconfiguration and upgrading; * Support for component based development; * Scalability, from very small scale embedded systems to full-fledged OSes; * Flexible scheduling; * Quality of Service guarantees; * Real-Time on Linux; * Interaction with reconfigurable hardware; * Support for embedded multiprocessor architectures; * Coordinated management of multiple resources; * Security and fault tolerance for embedded real-time systems; * Power-aware operating systems.
The workshop will consist of submitted papers as well as invited presentations about academic state-of-the-art and industrial state-of-practice within the area.
