Seminar: The 1st International Real-Time Scheduling Open Problems Seminar (RTSOPS 2010) provides a venue for the exchange of ideas and the discussion of interesting unsolved problems in real-time scheduling. The format of the seminar positively encourages interaction between participants and provides ample time for relaxed discussions. The goal of the seminar is to promote a spirit of co-operation and collaboration within the real-time scheduling community. RTSOPS 2010 is organized around presentation and collaboration sessions. Each presentation session provides the opportunity to hear about a number of important unsolved problems in real-time scheduling, highlighted via brief presentations. The following collaboration session gives participants the opportunity to interact in small groups, exchanging ideas with the presenters about how the problems might be solved, and to take the first steps towards a solution. It is expected that the solutions to the problems posed at this seminar will lead to some of the most important breakthroughs and advances in real-time scheduling theory, over the next few years. Scope: Real-time scheduling theory has provided a foundation for understanding and solving resource allocation and scheduling problems in systems that have real-time constraints. New fundamental results are needed to address recent advances and trends in real-time systems design. RTSOPS 2010 encompasses all aspects of real-time scheduling.
Submissions: RTSOPS 2010 invites extended abstracts of open problems in areas such as, but not limited to:
* Scheduling and Schedulability Analysis (single processor, multiprocessor, network etc.) * Approximation Techniques (resource augmentation, competitive analysis, etc.) * Complexity of Real-Time Scheduling Problems * Resource Sharing * Algorithmic Mechanism Design for Real-Time Systems * Compositional Analysis / Hierarchical Scheduling * Parallelism in Real-Time Systems * Impossibility Results / Lower Bounds
