                    CALL FOR PAPERS - RTCSA 2011
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

      The 17th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and
           Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications
                      August 28 to 31, 2011
                          Toyama, Japan

INFORMATION FROM JAPAN AND ORGANIZERS:

About the conference, although there are a lot of disaster reports on TV, 
internet, and radio, Toyama where the conference will be held is 300 miles 
from the accident location, which is 10 times the radius of danger zone, and 
Toyama is not at all affected by the earthquake or nuclear leaks. Moreover, 
since the conference will be held in August, we will have enough time to 
allow recovery actions and to make sure that it is safe to visit Japan. So 
please do not worry about visiting the conference.

You can check the environmental radioactivity levels in Japan from the 
following URLs:

There, however, can be special circumstances where you cannot attend the 
conference because of the orders from your countries, companies, or 
institutions although your papers were accepted.  In that case, we will 
investigate possibilities for you to give presentations by video 
presentations and/or Skype.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Embedded software has become a necessity in almost every aspect of the daily 
lives of individuals and organizations, from self-contained applications to 
those embedded in various devices and services (mobile phones, vital sign 
sensors, medication dispensers, home appliances, engine ignition systems, 
etc). A large proportion of these systems are mission/life critical and 
performance sensitive.

The 17th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing 
Systems and Applications (RTCSA 2011) will bring together researchers and 
developers from academia and industry for advancing the technology of 
embedded and real-time systems, and ubiquitous computing applications. The 
conference has the following goals: to investigate advances in embedded and 
real-time systems and ubiquitous computing applications; to promote 
interaction among the areas of embedded computing, real-time computing and 
ubiquitous computing; to evaluate the maturity and directions of embedded 
and real-time system and ubiquitous computing technology. RTCSA 2011 invites 
submissions of papers presenting a high quality original research and 
development for the conference tracks: (1) Embedded Systems, (2) Real-time 
Systems, and (3) Ubiquitous Computing.

SCOPES: Following the tradition of RTCSA, the conference has three tracks: 
embedded systems, real-time systems, and ubiquitous computing. The 
interested topics include:

EMBEDDED SYSTEMS TRACK (favors papers presenting practical aspects, 
experimentation results, and industrial experiences of the following 
topics):
- Software design and debugging for heterogeneous multi-core embedded 
platform
- Multi-thread programming for multi-core embedded platform
- System integration/collaboration for systems of embedded systems
- Operating systems and scheduling
- System-on-chip design
- HW/SW co-design
- Power/thermal-aware design issues
- Embedded multimedia applications
- Embedded system design practices
- Networks-on-chip design
- Embedded system architecture
- Design optimization (memory, performance etc.)

REAL-TIME SYSTEMS TRACK:
- Real-time operating systems
- Real-time scheduling
- Timing analysis
- Databases
- Programming languages and run-time systems
- Middleware systems
- Design and analysis tools
- Communication networks and protocols
- Case studies and applications
- Media processing and transmissions
- Real-time aspects of Wireless sensor networks

UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING/CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS TRACK:
- Real-time issues in ubiquitous computing and cyber-physical systems
- Tools, infrastructures and architectures for ubiquitous computing and 
cyber-physical systems
- Devices and enabling technologies for ubiquitous computing and 
cyber-physical systems
- Design and verification methodologies for cyber-physical systems
- Applications of wireless sensor networks
- Ubiquitous computing applications
