FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

10th International Workshop on Real-Time Networks (RTN 2011)
July 5th, 2011, Porto, Portugal
www.rtn2011.org

In conjunction with the 23rd Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2011)
July 6th – 8th, 2011, Porto, Portugal
www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/ecrts11/

The workshop is seeking original research and position papers dealing with hot topics in real-time networks. Innovative and/or controversial ideas are especially sought. Following the initiative previous editions, RTN 2011 once again encourages submissions on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and their applications. This year, we also encourage submissions on Applications of real-time networks to building automation and control. Prospective authors are also encouraged to address any issues about real-time, QoS and dependability in computer networks. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and applications 
Real-time tracking 
Cyber-physical systems, internet of things
Wireless technologies (IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee, WiMax, UWB, 6lowpan)
Communication protocols: (MAC and network layer issues, distributed scheduling, soft-core implementation etc)
Networked embedded systems, networked sensor systems and networked control systems 
Infrastructures for ubiquitous and pervasive computing systems 
Performance evaluation, simulation and modeling tools 
Real-time network management and time synchronization 
Quality of Service (QoS), dependable systems and safety systems 
Domotics and building monitoring / control systems (fire, gas and water detection, access controls/security, HAVAC etc) 
Robotics and real-time collaboration 
Automotive and aerospace networks / applications (CAN, FlexRay, TTP, etc) 
Implementation, experimentation and case Studies

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Submitted papers should follow the IEEE conference format and should not exceed 6 pages in length. 
Submissions should be made using the START conference management system at: www.softconf.com/b/rtn2011/. 
All papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee. Accepted papers will be made available to all participants one week before the workshop so that contributions can be examined prior to the event. Revised and extended versions of the workshop papers will be published in the December 2011 issue of the ACM SIGBED Review.

IMPORTANT DATES
The deadline for submissions is the 3rd May 2011
Notification of acceptance: 22nd May 2011
Submission of camera-ready papers: 5th June 2011
