The traditional concept of embedded systems is constantly evolving to address the requirements of the modern world. Cyber-physical systems, networked control systems and Industry 4.0 are introducing an increasing need for interconnectivity. A steadily increasing algorithmic complexity of embedded software is fueling the adoption of multicore and heterogeneous architectures. As a consequence, meeting real-time requirements is now more challenging than ever. The NG-RES workshop focuses on real-time embedded systems, with particular emphasis on the distributed and parallel aspects. The workshop is a venue for both the networking and multicore real-time communities aiming at cross-fertilization and multi-disciplinary approaches to the design of embedded systems.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Programming models, paradigms and frameworks for real-time computation on parallel and heterogeneous architectures
* Networking protocols and services (e.g., clock synchronization) for distributed real-time embedded systems
* Scheduling and schedulability analysis for distributed and/or parallel real-time systems
* Application of formal methods to distributed and/or parallel real-time systems
* Compiler-assisted solutions for distributed and/or parallel real-time systems
* Middlewares for distributed and/or parallel real-time systems
* The workshop welcomes contributions presenting original research, contributions from the industry and position papers for european research projects.
