24th International Conference on Real-Time Networks and Systems (RTNS) CONFERENCE RTNS is a friendly conference with a great sense of community that presents excellent opportunities for collaboration. Original unpublished papers on all aspects of real-time systems and networks are welcome. The proceedings are published by the ACM ICPS (approval pending). RTNS covers a wide-spectrum of topics in real-time and embedded systems, including, but not limited to:

ACEI Final Report, including FORTRAN code and documentation, as a gzipped tar file.

DARPA has recently released the software for all of the design and collaboration tools used by participants in its first FANG Challenge.  Source code for the META design tools, VehicleFORGE collaboration platform and iFAB foundry IT infrastructure are currently available for download from their online repository @ http://cps-vo.org/group/avm.

Special Session on Ensuring Safety in Industrial Critical Systems (ESICS)

Symposia dedicated to promising research in resilient systems that will protect cyber-physical infrastructures from unexpected and malicious threats--securing our way of life.

  The ASME 2012 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC) and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (CIE) will take place during August 12-15, 2012 in Chicago, IL The conference is the flagship international meeting for Design Engineering and includes the following conferences:

The major purpose of this symposium is to extend and endorse particular concepts that will generate novel research and codify resilience in next generation control system designs.

Synopsis:
DARPA's Adaptive Vehicle Make (AVM) portfolio of programs is aimed at compressing at least five-fold the development timelines for new complex cyber-electro-mechanical systems such as military vehicles. Under AVM, DARPA is pursuing the development of several elements of enabling infrastructure aimed at radically transforming the systems engineering/design/verification (META /META-II ), manufacturing (iFAB ), and innovation (vehicleforge.mil ) elements of the overall "make" process for delivering new defense systems or variants. Each of these infrastructure capabilities is largely generic, i.e., applicable to any cyber-electro-mechanical system.

In order to exercise these capabilities in the context of a relevant military system, DARPA intends to build FANG -the Fast, Adaptable, Next-Generation Ground Vehicle-a new heavy infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). FANG's functional requirements will mirror those for the Marine Corps' Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV). A series of three design challenges focused on subsystems of increasing complexity will ultimately result in the FANG vehicle being built in the iFAB Foundry.

The present Component, Context, and Manufacturing Model Library 2 (C2M2L-2, pronounced "camel 2") solicitation is for the second round of domain-specific models needed to enable the design, verification, and fabrication of the chassis and survivability subsystems of the FANG vehicle using the META, iFAB, and vehicleforge.mil infrastructure. (The first of these challenges is focused on the mobility and drivetrain subsystems, and is supported by the C2M2L-1 effort.) A subsequent C2M2L solicitation is expected to address all of the remaining subsystem domains needed to construct and verify a complete infantry fighting vehicle.
