RTCSA 2024 : 30th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications

* About the Conference:

The RTCSA conference (now in its 30th edition) serves as a pivotal platform for experts from both academia and industry, fostering advancements in technology and theory for time-sensitive applications. The conference’s scope encompasses all applications where temporal aspects need to be considered. CPS, (Industrial) IoT, embedded systems, fog/edge/cloud computing are just notable examples.

RTCSA is especially open to new and emerging topics. Such topics may include the application of machine learning in designing and analyzing embedded and real-time systems, strategies for achieving real-time machine learning, resource management in autonomous systems, etc. RTCSA welcomes both research and industrial papers that describe research or technical aspects in the area of embedded and real-time systems. Please find the topics of interest below.

* Topics of Interest:

* Submission Requirements:

Both research and industry papers are solicited. The submitted manuscript must describe original work not previously published and not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Abstract submission is a prerequisite for full paper submission. We welcome high quality papers, adhering to the following two formats:

- Full Paper format: paper must fit within 10 pages
- Short Paper format: paper must fit within 6 pages

Both types of submission must be formatted according to the IEEE conference proceedings format (two-columns, single-space, 10pt) and must include references and acknowledgments within the page limit.

In some cases, the Program Committee may decide to accept a full paper submission as a short paper, in which case, the authors will be required to reduce its length for the final version. Conference content will be published by the IEEE Computer Society on IEEExplore and will be indexed by most search engines including Scopus, Web of Science, DBLP.

By submitting a paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one author will register at full registration rate to the conference and present the paper in person.
