CALL FOR WiP PAPERS AND DEMOS: RTAS 2016
——————————
The 22nd IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS 2016) will be held in Vienna, Austria, as part of the Cyber-Physical Systems Week (CPSWeek) in April 2016. The conference includes a Work in Progress (WiP) and Demo session intended for presentation of recent and on-going work, as well as for demonstrations of tools and technology that have the potential to be used in the design and development of real-time systems. In keeping with the spirit of the main symposium, we invite submissions of WiP papers and demos with an emphasis on system and application aspects. Authors of accepted WiP/demo papers are expected to give a brief presentation to the RTAS’16 audience followed by a poster/demo presentation at the reception held on April 11, 2016.

WORK IN PROGRESS SESSION
——————————
The WiP session at RTAS 2016 is dedicated to new and on-going research in the field of real-time and embedded systems. Authors are invited to submit short papers describing ongoing, unpublished work in all areas of real-time and embedded technology, including applications, systems, tools, methodologies, foundations, wireless sensor networks, and hardware-software co-design. The WiP session provides researchers and developers with an opportunity to discuss evolving and early-stage ideas, and to solicit feedback from the real-time systems community at large.
DEMO SESSION
——————————
The demo session at RTAS 2016 will provide a forum for researchers to give a demonstration of their work with concrete systems, tools and prototypes in all areas of real-time embedded technology and applications as part of the CPS Week joint poster/demo session. Authors are invited to submit short technical abstracts (up to 2 pages) describing what will be demonstrated and how the contributions will be illustrated interactively. Authors of papers accepted at RTAS’16 are welcome to propose a demo of their work.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
——————————
This year, every author is required to submit two separate documents:
1. An abstract that will appear in the main proceedings. These abstracts must include a conventional header with the title of the WiP/demo paper and the names and affiliations of the authors. The header must be followed by approximately 300 words (i.e. about half a page) that summarize in one or two paragraphs the research context and the specificity of the solution that will be presented/demonstrated. To avoid doubling up the references and skewing the citation count, it is extremely important to note that these abstracts must *not* contain references nor acknowledgments! All references and acknowledgements will be removed from the document before its publication in the main proceedings.
2. A short paper that will be made available online and at the conference.
– WiP papers should consist of 2 to 4 pages in the IEEE 10-point, two-column conference format, including all references and appendices. The submitted paper must be original material that has neither been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal, and will not be submitted elsewhere before notification by RTAS 2016. Submissions will be refereed for quality and relevance. Submissions that fail to comply with the formatting requirements will not be reviewed.
– Demo papers should adhere to the IEEE 10-point, two-column conference format, and be 1 to 2 pages long, including all references and appendices. They should repeat and extend the information provided in the abstract. In addition, they must clearly describe what will be demonstrated and how the contributions will be illustrated interactively. If a demonstration requires special arrangements (in addition to a table, power, and wireless connectivity), please describe them clearly in the paper. Submissions will be evaluated based on technical merit and innovation as well as the potential to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas at the conference.
Abstracts and short papers must be submitted electronically in PDF.
By submitting a paper, the authors agree and confirm that, in case of acceptance, at least one author will register for the conference and present the WiP/demo in person. Instructions for preparing the final version of accepted WiP/demo papers and their presentation will be sent along with the notification.
