The 10th Annual Workshop on Operating Systems Platforms for Embedded Real-Time Applications

Developers of embedded Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) are faced with
many challenges arising from two opposite needs: the need for extreme
resource usage optimization (processor, energy, network bandwidth, etc.)
on the one hand, and an the other hand also increasing demands for
scalability, flexibility, isolation, adaptivity, reconfigurability,
predictability, serviceability, and certifiability. Further, while
special-purpose RTOSs continue to be used in many small embedded
applications, real-time services are increasingly introduced and used in
general-purpose operating systems, and market pressures continue to blur
the lines between the two formerly distinct classes of operating
systems. Notable examples are the various flavors of real-time Linux
that provide support to time-sensitive applications, as well as the
emergence of commercial and open-source real-time hypervisors.

This workshop is intended as a forum for researchers and practitioners
working on (and with) RTOSs and middlewares to discuss the recent
advances in RTOS and middleware technology and the challenges that lie
ahead.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Case studies and experience reports
- Certification and verification of RTOSs and middleware
- Coordinated management of multiple resources
- Dynamic reconfiguration and upgrading
- Empirical comparisons and evaluations of RTOSs
- Flexible processor and I/O scheduling
- Interaction with reconfigurable hardware
- Operating system standards (e.g., AUTOSAR, ARINC, POSIX, etc.)
- Power and energy management
- Quality of Service guarantees
- Real-time Linux variants
- Real-time virtualization and hypervisors
- RTOSs for manycore platforms
- Scalability, from very small scale embedded systems to full-fledged RTOSs
- Security and fault tolerance for embedded real-time systems
- Support for (embedded) multiprocessor architectures
- Support for component-based development
