Call for Workshop Proposals

Scope of the Workshops

The Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS) is the flagship conference of the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems. RTSS 2016, the 37th edition of the conference, will take place in Porto, Portugal from November 29 to December 2, 2016. Continuing a successful tradition, RTSS 2016 will organize one-day workshops on November 29. The purposes of the workshops are to:

  • strengthen interactions between the real-time community and other related research areas;
  • create a stimulating environment that facilitates the discussion of open or hot research topics.
