Real-Time Middleware and Software Engineering Track
Theme
Real-time and embedded systems are increasingly being networked
together to form distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. We
therefore need principled techniques and tools for specifying,
programming, composing, integrating, and validating middleware that
can satisfy end-to-end quality of service (QoS) requirements of DRE
applications. Key research challenges include:
-
Determining how a myriad of real-world physical constraints can be integrated
and satisfied simultaneously with multi-dimensional QoS and functional
constraints when designing middleware.
-
Elevating the levels of abstraction at which middleware for DRE systems
are developed and validated, including model-based software techniques,
aspect-oriented programming, and QoS-enabled component models.
-
Examining the current levels of abstraction used in developing DRE middleware
with a focus on improving the usefulness of metrics and validation techniques.
Topics of Interest
The Real-Time Middleware and Software Engineering track for RTSS
therefore invites papers in areas that are relevant to next-generation
DRE middleware, including but not limited to the following topics:
-
Real-Time Java support and applications
-
DRE middleware, e.g., Real-Time CORBA and Distributed Real-Time Java
-
Secure DRE middleware
-
Novel middleware-level mechanisms
-
Open middleware architectures for resource management
-
DRE software component models
-
QoS-aware application design and patterns
-
DRE system modeling and analysis
