This workshop will bring together researchers, designers, and implementers of real-time operating systems and software. There will be a substantial emphasis on practical experience, so workers from industrial organizations are encouraged to attend. Topics of specific interest include: Primary requirements of real-time systems Distributed real-time operating systems Application-specific operating systems Practical experiences and implications Exotic applications: medicine, music, etc. Architectural support for real-time Language, programming support, and reusability Types of real-time constraints Scheduling and resource management Predictability, adaptability, and maintainability Reliability and fault tolerance Instrumentation and performance measurement Case studies The format of the workshop will be geared to encourage intense technical interactions and focussed discussions. Attendance will be limited to between 75 and 100 active workers in the field. In order to participate in the workshop, you must submit four copies of an extended abstract or position paper of up to 5 pages describing your current efforts to Lui Sha by March 1, 1988 . The abstract should focus on insights and lessons gained from recent research and practical experience. Complete details regarding the workshop will be sent to all participants along with the acceptance letters by March 21, 1988. A digest of accepted abstracts will be made available to participants at the workshop.
