RTSS '98 will bring together a wide body of researchers and
developers, to advance the science and practice of real-time
computing. The RTSS program includes many aspects of real-time and
embedded systems, including 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.


In 1998, RTSS received a record number of submitted papers. There were
182 papers in all, 80 more than last year, 50 more than any RTSS ever
held. Of these, 45 were chosen to appear on the program, which follows
below.

                                      INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION AND DEMOS


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. Gerhard Fohler
at (gerhard.fohler@mdh.se).




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




                                            WORK-IN-PROGRESS SESSIONS


As in previous years, RTSS '98 is soliciting contributions to a special
Work-In-Progress (WIP) track, featuring short presentations on new work in
real-time systems and applications. The purpose of this session is to
provide researchers with an opportunity to discuss new and evolving ideas,
and gather feedback from the real-time community at large. All accepted
papers to the RTSS'98 WIP sessions will be presented at the conference, in
short 10-minute talks. Papers will be published in a special RTSS'98 WIP
proceedings, to be distributed to all RTSS'98 conference participants, and
then made available on the WWW, via the IEEE-CS TC-RTS Home Page.


Submissions to RTSS'98 WIP should describe original, on-going work, and
should be limited to 2,000 words. Authors should email papers to the
RTSS'98 WIP Chair:




        Steve Goddard
        Dept of Computer Science and Engineering Email: goddard@cse.unl.edu
        University of Nebraska-Lincoln Phone: +1-402-472-9968
        Lincoln, NE 68588-0115 USA Fax: +1-402-472-7767




The deadline for submissions is October 23, 1998. Notification of
acceptance will be sent out on November 2, 1998. For more information,
please contact RTSS'98 WIP Chair or check the RTSS'98 WIP Home Page at:

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


                                    WORKSHOP ON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES


RTSS '98 is co-hosting the IEEE Workshop on Programming Languages for
Real-Time Industrial Applications, to take place on December 1 - the day
preceding the conference. Several topics to be covered at the workshop are:
developments in real-time and embedded flavors of Java; implementing
real-time virtual machines for Java; Java vs. Ada 95 real-time profiles;
support for distributed applications using real-time Java, Ada, and MPI;
getting real-time functionality in Java chips; developments in real-time
POSIX - ongoing and in the future.


If you're interested in these or related topics, please consult the
Workshop home page:
