WCET 2016 First Call For Papers
16th International Workshop on Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis WCET 2016 Toulouse, France, 5th July 2016 in conjunction with the Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS) http://wcet2016.compute.dtu.dk CALL FOR PAPERS WCET 2016 is kindly supported by TACLe (www.tacle.eu), an European COST-Action on Timing Analysis on Code-Level. GOALS AND TOPICS A large class of embedded systems is distinguished from general-purpose computing systems by the need to satisfy strict requirements on timing, often under constraints on available resources. Predictable system design is concerned with the challenge of building systems for which timing requirements can be guaranteed a priori. Perhaps paradoxically, this problem has become more difficult by the introduction of performance-enhancing architectural elements, such as caches, pipelines, and multi-threading, which introduce a large degree of uncertainty and make timing guarantees harder to provide. The WCET workshop focuses on the analysis and design of timing-predictable systems, with a strong emphasis on worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis. Topics of interest include all aspects of timing analysis and timing-predictability. This includes (but is not limited to): - WCET analysis for multi-threaded and multi-core systems - Low-level timing analysis, modeling and analysis of processor features - Flow analysis for WCET, loop bounds, infeasible paths - Measurement-based WCET analysis - Different approaches to WCET computation - Probabilistic timing analysis - Tools for WCET analysis - Integration of WCET and schedulability analysis - Integration of WCET analysis in development processes - Strategies to reduce the complexity of WCET analysis - Processor and hardware design for timing predictability - Program design for timing predictability - Compiler-based optimization of worst-case timing - Timing-predictable, resource-aware operating systems - Experimental analysis of the timing behavior of processors - Methods and benchmarks for WCET analysis evaluation - Case studies and industrial experiences of WCET analysis - WCET analysis in the academic curriculum Statements which are innovative, controversial, or that present new approaches are specially sought. FOCUS OF THE 2016 EDITION This year we feature papers that provide tools in open source and provide instructions how the evaluation results can be reproduced. The PC will explore those open source tools as part of the paper review process. WORKSHOP STRUCTURE The goal of the workshop is to bring together people from academia, tool vendors and users in industry who are interested in all aspects of timing predictability of real-time systems. The workshop fosters a highly interactive format with ample time for in-depth discussions. It provides a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions, and to review current trends in this area. The presentations will be kept short to leave plenty of time for interaction of attendees. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Research papers should present original research results not published or submitted for publication in other forums. Accepted papers will be published via Schloss Dagstuhl's OASIcs online proceedings series, indexed, with ISBN. Authors of accepted papers agree to attend the workshop and to present their work during the workshop. Papers submitted for the WCET workshop must be written in English, must not exceed 10 pages, should conform to the typesetting requirements specified on the workshop's website (http://wcet2016.compute.dtu.dk), and must be submitted in PDF format using the WCET workshop paper submission website. Author names, affiliations and self-references should not be anonymized. Paper submission is via EasyChair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wcet2016 IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: 28th April 2016 (23:59 GMT-12) Notification of acceptance:27th May 2016 Final paper submission:10th June 2016 WCET Workshop: 5th July 2016 ECRTS Conference: 6-8th July 2016 -

== CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th Workshop on Java Technologies for Real-Time and Embedded Systems JTRES 2016 Part of the Managed Languages & Runtimes Week 2016 29 August - 2 September 2016 Lugano, Switzerland http://jtres2016.compute.dtu.dk/ == Submission deadline: 12 June, 2016 Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jtres2016 == Over 90% of all microprocessors are now used for real-time and embedded applications. Embedded devices are deployed on a broad diversity of distinct processor architectures and operating systems. The application software for many embedded devices is custom tailored if not written entirely from scratch. The size of typical embedded system software applications is growing exponentially from year to year, with many of today's embedded systems comprised of multiple millions of lines of code. For all of these reasons, the software portability, reuse, and modular composability benefits offered by Java are especially valuable to developers of embedded systems. Both embedded and general purpose software frequently need to comply with real-time constraints. Higher-level programming languages and middleware are needed to robustly and productively design, implement, compose, integrate, validate, and enforce memory and real-time constraints along with conventional functional requirements for reusable software components. The Java programming language has become an attractive choice because of its safety, productivity, its relatively low maintenance costs, and the availability of well trained developers. ::Goal:: Interest in real-time Java by both the academic research community and commercial industry has been motivated by the need to manage the complexity and costs associated with continually expanding embedded real-time software systems. The goal of the workshop is to gather researchers working on real-time and embedded Java to identify the challenging problems that still need to be solved in order to assure the success of real-time Java as a technology and to report results and experience gained by researchers. The Java ecosystem has outgrown the combination of Java as programming language and the JVM. For example, Android uses Java as source language and the Dalvik virtual machine for execution. Languages such as Scala are compiled to Java bytecode and executed on the JVM. JTRES welcomes submissions that apply such approaches to embedded and/or real-time systems. ::Submission Requirements:: Participants are expected to submit a paper of at most 10 pages (ACM Conference Format, i.e., two-columns, 10 point font). Accepted papers will be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series via the ACM Digital Library and have to be presented by one author at the JTRES. LaTeX and Word templates can be found at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html The ISBN number for JTRES 2016 is TBD. Papers describing open source projects shall include a description how to obtain the source and how to run the experiments in the appendix. The source version for the published paper will be hosted at the JTRES web site. Papers should be submitted through EasyChair. Please use the submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jtres2016 Selected papers will be invited for submission to a special issue of the TBD. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to: New real-time programming paradigms and language features Industrial experience and practitioner reports Open source solutions for real-time Java Real-time design patterns and programming idioms High-integrity and safety critical system support Java-based real-time operating systems and processors Extensions to the RTSJ and SCJ Real-time and embedded virtual machines and execution environments Memory management and real-time garbage collection Multiprocessor and distributed real-time Java Real-time solutions for Android Languages other than Java on real-time or embedded JVMs Benchmarks and Open Source applications using real-time Java ::Important Dates:: Paper Submission: 12 June, 2016 Notification of Acceptance: 20 July, 2016 Camera Ready Paper Due: 15 August, 2016 Workshop: 29 August - 2 September, 2016 ::Program Chair:: Martin Schoeberl, Technical University of Denmark ::Workshop Chair:: Walter Binder, University of Lugano (USI), Switzerland ::Program Committee Members:: Ethan Blanton, Fiji Systems Inc Ana Cavalcanti, University of York Peter Dibble, RTSJ M.
