------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - RTNES@ETFA'08 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 13th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation; September 15-18, 2008, Hamburg, Germany Track on REAL-TIME AND (NETWORKED) EMBEDDED SYSTEMS ------------------------------------------------------------------- Conference web site: http://www.etfa2008.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded systems are increasingly taking advantage of the opportunities afforded by ubiquitous connectivity and networks to offer new and original functions and solutions. Together with the hard real-time constraints often associated with these applications, the design of embedded systems requires the development of efficient platforms supported by innovative technologies, methodologies and algorithms. This track brings together the experts to present the latest developments and progress. Hence, contributions are sought in, but not limited to, the following areas: - Technology in real-time and (networked) embedded systems (RTNES): Real-Time Computing and Operating Systems Real-Time Communications Networked Embedded Systems Technology Wireless Sensor Networks Sensor Technology Cyber Physical Systems - Design and methods in RTNES: Design and Implementation Design Methodologies and Tools Models of Computation and Formal Methods Hardware/Software Co-Design - Components and platforms in RTNES: IP Cores and Platforms System on Chip and Architectures Languages - Algorithms and control in RTNES: Power Supply and Management Data Integration and Fusion Communication Modes Quality of Service control - Case studies in RTNES: Case studies (industrial automation, automotive, avionics, communications...) ------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Papers are to be submitted electronically. For further details, please consult the conference web pages. ------------------------------------------------------------------- AUTHOR'S SCHEDULE Deadline for submission of long papers: March 31, 2008 Notification of acceptance: May 25, 2008 Submission of final manuscripts: July 1, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------- TRACK CHAIRS Thomas Nolte, MRTC/Mälardalen University, Sweden email: thomas.nolte@mdh.se Roberto Passerone, University of Trento, Italy email: roberto.passerone@unitn.it ------------------------------------------------------------------- TRACK PROGRAM COMMITTEE Nevine AbouGhazaleh - University of Pittsburg/Intel Research, USA Luis Almeida - University of Aveiro, Portugal Björn Andersson - University of Porto, Portugal Iain Bate - University of York, UK Davide Brunelli - University of Bologna, Italy Benoit Caillaud - INRIA/IRISA, France Anton Cervin - University of Lund, Sweden Tullio Facchinetti - University of Pavia, Italy Alberto Ferrari - Parades GEIE, Italy Sebastian N.
