                         Call for Papers

=============================================================================
 Workshop on Operating Systems Platforms for Embedded Real-Time 
applications 

                            OSPERT
=============================================================================
           Palma de Mallorca, Spain, July 5, 2005

                  in conjunction with the

       17th Euromicro Intl Conference on Real-Time Systems.
         Palma de Mallorca, Spain, July 6 - 8, 2005
       http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/rts/ECRTS05/index.php
     sponsored by the European Network of Excellence ARTIST2

  Research on innovative RTOS architectures and services is a hot
  topic.  Developers of Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) are faced
  with many challenges arising from two opposite needs: extreme
  optimization of resource usage (processor, energy, network
  bandwidth, etc.) vs. dynamic configuration and upgrading, flexible
  scheduling, component-based development and deployment, etc.  While
  real-time systems continue to be used in many small embedded
  applications, real-time services are being introduced and used in
  general-purpose operating systems.  Notable examples are the
  various flavors Linux that provide support to time-sensitive
  applications.

  This workshop is intended as a forum for researchers and practitioners
  of RTOS to discuss the recent advances in RTOS technology and the
  challenges that lie ahead.

  The workshop seeks original papers to be presented at the
  workshop. Topics can be, but are not limited to:

  - Dynamic reconfiguration and upgrading;
  - Support for component based development;
  - Scalability, from very small OSEK-based OS to full-fledged OSes;
  - Quality of service guarantees;
  - Real-Time on Linux;
  - Hardware-based operating systems;
  - Interaction with reconfigurable hardware;
  - Support for embedded multi-processor architectures;
  - Coordinated management of multiple resources;
  - Security and fault tolerance for embedded rts;
  - Power aware OS.

  Statements which are innovative, controversial, or that present new
  approaches are specially sought.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
--------------------

  People who would like to participate in this event are asked to
  submit a 4 pages extended abstract to the workshop chair by e-mail
  ([email protected]). PLEASE INCLUDE THE KEYWORD OSPERT IN THE
  SUBJECT. Upon acceptance, a corrected version of the paper
  should be prepared and submitted. All papers will be made available
  to all participants a week before the workshop so that contributions
  can be examined prior to the workshop.

  To foster the workshop character the number of participants will be
  limited to 40. There will be a small charge for workshop
  registration. (more details will be announced later).
