--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
<br>
OSPERT is a forum for researchers and engineers working on (and with)<br>
Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOSs) to present recent advances in RTOS<br>
technology, to promote new and existing initiatives and projects, and to<br>
identify and discuss the challenges that lie ahead. The workshop, now in<br>
its eleventh year, provides the RTOS community with an opportunity to<br>
meet, to exchange ideas, to network, and to discuss future directions.<br>
<br>
OSPERT’16 strives for an inclusive and diverse program and solicits a<br>
range of varied contributions. To this end, the following types of<br>
submissions are sought:<br>
<br>
1. proposals for stand-alone presentations (including talks on open<br>
problems, demos & tutorials, calls to action, etc.);<br>
2. proposals for reports on empirical experiments (including replication<br>
studies, preliminary experiments preceding a full conference<br>
submission, and negative experience reports discussing failed<br>
approaches); and<br>
3. technical papers (including short work-in-progress papers and full<br>
workshop papers).<br>
<br>

detailed description of the different contribution formats.<br>

SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST<br>
<br>
OSPERT'16 is open to all topics related to providing a reliable and<br>
efficient operating environment for real-time and embedded applications.<br>
<br>
Developers of embedded RTOSs are faced with many challenges arising from<br>
two opposite needs: on the one hand there is a need for extreme resource<br>
usage optimization (processor cycles, energy, network bandwidth, etc.),<br>
and an the other hand there are also increasing demands in terms of<br>
scalability, flexibility, isolation, adaptivity, reconfigurability,<br>
predictability, serviceability, and certifiability, to name a few.<br>
Further, while special-purpose RTOSs continue to be used for many<br>
embedded applications, real-time services are also increasingly<br>
introduced and used in general-purpose operating systems, and market<br>
pressures continue to blur the lines between the two formerly distinct<br>
classes of operating systems. Notable examples are the various flavors<br>
of real-time Linux that support time-sensitive applications, the<br>
emergence of commercial and open-source real-time hypervisors, as well<br>
as the growth in features and scope of embedded OS and middleware<br>
specifications such as AUTOSAR.<br>
<br>
OSPERT'16 is dedicated to the advances in RTOS technology required to<br>
address these trends. As such, areas of interest include, but are not<br>
limited to, the following topics:<br>
<br>
- Case studies and experience reports<br>
- Certification and verification of RTOSs and middleware<br>
- Coordinated management of multiple resources<br>
- Dynamic reconfiguration and upgrading<br>
- Empirical comparisons and evaluations of RTOSs<br>
- Flexible processor, memory, and I/O scheduling<br>
- Interaction with reconfigurable hardware<br>
- Operating system standards (e.g., AUTOSAR, ARINC, POSIX, etc.)<br>
- Power and energy management<br>
- Quality of Service guarantees<br>
- Real-time Linux variants<br>
- Real-time virtualization and hypervisors<br>
- RTOSs for manycore platforms<br>
- Scalability, from very small scale embedded systems to full-fledged RTOSs<br>
- Security and fault tolerance for embedded real-time systems<br>
- Support for multiprocessor architectures<br>
- Support for component-based development<br>
<br>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
SUBMISSION FORMATS<br>
<br>
- Stand-alone presentation proposals: abstract (~500 words).<br>
<br>
- Short WiP papers: up to three A4 pages, standard IEEE formatting.<br>
<br>
- Full workshop papers: up to six A4 pages, standard IEEE formatting.<br>

OSPERT 2016 is a satellite workshop of the 28th Euromicro Conference on<br>
Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2016), the premier European venue for<br>
presenting research into the broad area of real-time and embedded<br>
systems.<br>
