FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS - OSPERT 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 12th Annual Workshop on
Operating Systems Platforms for Embedded Real-Time Applications
(OSPERT 2016)
July 5th, 2016
Toulouse, France
co-located with ECRTS'16
http://www.cs.hs-rm.de/~kaiser/events/ospert16/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OSPERT is a forum for researchers and engineers working on (and with)
Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOSs) to present recent advances in RTOS technology, to promote new and existing initiatives and projects, and to identify and discuss the challenges that lie ahead. The workshop, now in
its eleventh year, provides the RTOS community with an opportunity to
meet, to exchange ideas, to network, and to discuss future directions.
OSPERT’16 strives for an inclusive and diverse program and solicits a
range of varied contributions. To this end, the following types of
submissions are sought:
1. proposals for stand-alone presentations (including talks on open
problems, demos & tutorials, calls to action, etc.);
2. proposals for reports on empirical experiments (including replication
studies, preliminary experiments preceding a full conference
submission, and negative experience reports discussing failed
approaches); and
3. technical papers (including short work-in-progress papers and full
workshop papers).
See
http://www.cs.hs-rm.de/~kaiser/events/ospert16/formats.html for a
detailed description of the different contribution formats.

SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST
OSPERT'16 is open to all topics related to providing reliable
operating environments for real-time and embedded applications.
Developers of embedded RTOSs are faced with many challenges arising
from two opposite needs: on the one hand there is a need for extreme
resource usage optimization (processor cycles, energy, network
bandwidth, etc.). On the other hand RTOSs have to meet increasing
demands in terms of scalability, flexibility, isolation, adaptivity, reconfigurability, predictability, serviceability, and certifiability,
to name only a few. Moreover, while special-purpose RTOSs continue to
be used for many embedded applications, general-purpose operating
systems introduce an increasing amount of services that are real-time
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 support time-sensitive applications, the emergence of commercial and open-source real-time hypervisors, as well as the growth in features and the widening of the
scope of embedded OS and middleware specifications such as AUTOSAR.
OSPERT'16 is dedicated to the advances in RTOS technology required to
address these trends. Our 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, memory, 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 multiprocessor architectures
- Support for component-based development
- Reports about negative results, unplanned outcomes and unforeseen
challenges
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION FORMATS
- Stand-alone presentation proposals: abstract (~500 words).
- Short WiP papers: up to three A4 pages, standard IEEE formatting.
- Full workshop papers: up to six A4 pages, standard IEEE formatting.
