CFP -- IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium 1998 (Madrid, 12/98)

=======================================================================
                                                      CALL FOR PAPERS
                            The 19th IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium
                                                        Madrid, Spain
                                                    December 2-4, 1998


        Sponsored by The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on
                                                    Real-Time Systems
=======================================================================


                                              SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE


RTSS '98 will bring together a wide body of researchers and
developers, to advance the science and practice of real-time
computing. Papers on all aspects of real-time systems are welcome,
including (but not limited to) modeling and design methods, operating
systems, scheduling algorithms, databases, file systems, networks and
communications, programming languages, formal methods, architecture,
middleware and APIs, instrumentation, fault tolerance, software
engineering, performance analysis, embedded systems,
signal-processing, multimedia applications, process control, tool
support -- and a lot more. Of particular interest are case-study
reports on experimental results, from any core application area in
real-time systems.


=======================================================================


                                                SUBMISSION GUIDELINES


Papers should describe original research (i.e., not published
elsewhere), and should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages (or
approximately 5000 words). All accepted submissions will appear in the
proceedings published by IEEE, with the committee recommending a
selection of the best papers for publication in a journal.


If possible, submissions should be made electronically, either in
postscript or PDF format. Additional details on submission guidelines
will be posted at the RTSS'98 Home Page:


                              http://www.cs.umd.edu/~rich/rtss98/


Electronic submissions are preferred; however postal submissions will
be accepted for review, provided they arrive by the Submission Deadline
of May 1, 1998. All authors taking this option should mail eight (8)
copies of their submitted papers to the Program Chair:

                    EXHIBITION, WORKSHOP AND WORK-IN-PROGRESS SESSIONS


Exhibition and Show: RTSS '98 will include an industrial exhibition in
a centrally located space, for vendors to demonstrate state-of-the-art
systems, development tools and applications; where RTSS attendees can
engage in technical discussions with product engineers and developers;
and where company representatives meet (and potentially recruit) young
researchers specializing in real-time and embedded systems. To reserve
space for the exhibition, please contact the RTSS '98 Industrial
Chair, Dr. Alan Burns (burns@minster.cs.york.ac.uk).


Workshop: RTSS '98 will co-host a workshop on December 1, 1998,
directly before the conference. The focus of the workshop will be a
"hot topic" of special interest to researchers and developers of
real-time systems. Recent RTSS workshops were on topics such as
Middleware/APIs (1997) and Multimedia Systems (1996). More information
on the 1998 workshop topic will be announced shortly, and publicized
on the conference home page.


Work-in-Progress Session: As in previous years, RTSS '98 will include
a Work-In-Progress (WIP) session, featuring short presentations on new
and evolving work. Accepted WIP papers will be included in a special
proceedings, and distributed to RTSS'98 conference participants. The
proceedings will then be published electronically on the IEEE-CS
TC-RTS Home Page. WIP papers will be due approximately one month
before the Symposium.
