VtRES 2014

2nd Workshop on Virtualization for Real-Time Embedded Systems (VtRES 2014),

In conjunction with the 19th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation ETFA 2014   Aim: The VtRES workshop provides a forum for researchers and technologists to discuss the state-of-the-art, present their work and contributions, and set future directions in virtualization for real-time embedded systems.   Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Efficient design and implementation of VMM in terms of the timing constraint, QoS assurance, runtime overhead and energy consumption requirements.
• Extending VMMs to support virtualization for embedded systems.
• Supporting virtualization for advanced hardware technologies such as multi-core/many-core, GPU, high-speed network communication media and devices, etc.
• VMM performance tuning based on applications’ load types.
• Virtualizing networks.
• Device sharing between virtual machines, including e.g, I/O and field busses.
• Methods for achieving advanced features found in server virtualization, such as live migration, with predictable real-time performance.
• Modeling and analysis of virtualized applications.
• Fault tolerance techniques in virtualized environments.
• Tools relevant to virtualization.
• Case studies of applications on virtualized platforms.
• Deployment studies of virtualization technologies.
• Novel use and application of virtualization for embedded real-time systems.
• System level virtualization solutions.
• Supporting service level virtualization for distributed real time systems.
