Sponsors: EUROMICRO TC-RTS
Deadline: 21, Apr, 2008

The Euromicro Technical Committee organizes a number of satellite events attached to its 20th International Real-Time Systems Conference. The Real Time Networks (RTN, formerly RTLIA)) workshop is the seventh on the series of workshops that started at the 2002 Euromicro conference.
RTN focuses on the current technological challenges of developing communication infrastructures that are real-time, reliable, pervasive and interoperable.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together people from industry and academia that are interested in all aspects of real-time communication.
The workshop will provide a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions and to review current trends in this area. The workshop will be based on short presentations that should encourage discussion among the attendees. Statements which are innovative, controversial or that present new approaches are specially sought.
The workshop is seeking original research and position papers dealing with hot topics in real-time networks. Innovative and/or controversial ideas are specially sought. This year, RTN 2008 particularly encourages submissions on Wireless Sensor Networks and Applications. 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 and Applications (highlight of this year)
* Real-Time Tracking
* Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things
* Wireless Technologies (IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee, WiMax, UWB)
* Communication Protocols: ( MAC and Network layer issues, distributed scheduling, etc.)
* Networked Embedded Systems
* Infrastructures for Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing Systems
* Performance Evaluation, Simulation and Modeling Tools
* Real-Time Network Management
* Time Synchronization
* Quality of Service and Dependable Systems
* Domotics, Automotive Networks
* Implementation, Experimentation and Case Studies
