Fourth IEEE Real-Time Technology and Applications Symposium

Denver, Colorado, USA
June 3-5, 1998

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

Preliminary Program And Call For Participation

Objectives and Scope

The IEEE Real-Time Technology and Applications Symposium brings together real-time system developers and researchers from academia, industry and government to present the latest advances in real-time systems research, and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted. An exciting program that fosters discussions and technical exchanges is planned, including tutorials, panel discussions, technical paper presentations and work-in-progress sessions on various aspects of real-time computing and communication, ranging from multimedia applications, case studies, systems integration, application requirements, scheduling, operating systems, software engineering, dependability, databases, programming languages, system development tools, communications, performance modeling and formal techniques.

The technical program for RTAS'98 is organized into eight sessions, covering various aspects of real-time systems technology and applications: namely Scheduling, Design Methodologies and Architectures, Operating Systems and Middleware, QoS Paradigms, Specification and Verification, Communication Systems, Databases and Information Systems, and Experiences and Case Studies. In addition to these eigth technical sessions, this year's RTAS program features two tutorials on Real-Time Java, by Kelvin Nielsen, and on Real-Time CORBA, by Douglas Schmidt. These tutorials will expose symposium attendees to the efforts undertaken by industry and standards committees to enable the use of real-time technologies in many of the emerging distributed applications (including Internet and Electronic Commerce). These two tutorials are complemented by a special panel organized by Mike Jones, featuring invited talks about the use of Off-The-Shelf (OTS) components to build real-time systems. Last but not least, this year's RTAS will include special Work-In-Progress (WIP) sessions, organized by Sue Nagy. These sessions will feature a number of short technical presentations to elicit the community's feedback on and interest in on-going research projects and system building efforts.
