About

OSPERT 2019 is a satellite workshop of the 31th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2019), the premier European venue for presenting research into the broad area of real-time and embedded systems. OSPERT is open to all topics related to providing a reliable operating environment for real-time and embedded applications.

Scope

Developers of embedded RTOSs are faced with many challenges arising from two opposite needs: on the one hand there is a need for extreme resource usage optimization (processor cycles, energy, network bandwidth, etc.), and an the other hand there are also increasing demands in terms of scalability, flexibility, isolation, adaptivity, reconfigurability, predictability, serviceability, and certifiability, to name a few. Further, while special-purpose RTOSs continue to be used for many embedded applications, real-time services are also increasingly introduced and used in general-purpose operating systems, and market pressures continue to blur the lines between the two formerly distinct classes of operating systems. Notable examples are the various flavors of real-time Linux that support time-sensitive applications, the emergence of commercial and open-source real-time hypervisors, as well as the growth in features and scope of embedded OS and middleware specifications such as AUTOSAR.

OSPERT’19 is dedicated to the advances in RTOS technology required to address these trends. As such, areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• Case studies and experience reports
• Consolidation of real-time and best-effort work on embedded platforms
• Certification and verification of RTOSs and middleware
• Coordinated management of multiple resources
• Dynamic reconfiguration and upgrading
• Empirical comparisons and evaluations of RTOSs
• Flexible processor, memory, and I/O scheduling
• Interaction with reconfigurable hardware
• Operating system standards (e.g., AUTOSAR, ARINC, POSIX, etc.)
• Power and energy management
• Quality of Service guarantees
• Real-time Linux variants
• Real-time virtualization and hypervisors
• RTOSs for manycore platforms
• Scalability, from very small scale embedded systems to full-fledged RTOSs
• Security and fault tolerance for embedded real-time systems
• Support for multiprocessor architectures
• Support for component-based development

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS [TXT|PDF]

OSPERT is a forum for researchers and engineers working on (and with) Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOSs) to present recent advances in RTOS technology, to promote new and existing initiatives and projects, and to identify and discuss the challenges that lie ahead. The workshop, now in its eleventh year, provides the RTOS community with an opportunity to meet, to exchange ideas, to network, and to discuss future directions.

OSPERT’19 strives for an inclusive and diverse program and solicits a range of varied contributions. To this end, the following types of submissions are sought:

1. proposals for technical presentations (including talks on open problems, demos & tutorials, calls to action, etc.);
2. proposals for reports on empirical experiments (including replication studies, preliminary experiments, and experience reports); and
3. technical papers (short papers and full workshop papers).

The submission of a full paper is not required to present work at OSPERT. See the detailed description of the different types of contributions and the submission instructions for details.
