The Eighth edition of the Brazilian Workshop on Real-Time Systems (WTR 2006), will be held on 02 June in Curitiba-Brazil, in conjunction with the 24th Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks (SBRC 2006). WTR is a traditional yearly event in Brazil which provides a suitable forum for discussions on the real-time systems area. Its objective is both to promote debates on recent theoretical and practical advances in the field and to disseminate ideas and trends on real-time area among academic and industrial sectors.

Scope: WTR 2006 seeks new contributions on any aspects of Real-Time Systems. Authors are invited to submit original work dealing with research, experiments or case studies. A special focus will be given, this year, to relevant industrial case studies as well as industry-university projects. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Modeling; Formal Methods; Hardware/Software Co-design;
  • Scheduling Algorithms and Analysis; Energy and Power-aware RT
  • Software Engineering; Real-Time Middleware;
  • Distributed Systems; Fault-Tolerance; Embedded Systems; Ubiquitous Computing; Sensor Networks; Mobile Computing;
  • Software and hardware Architectures; Operating systems; Communication Protocols; Soft, hard, firm Real-Time systems;
  • Multimedia and QoS Support; Real-Time Databases;
  • Programming languages; Industrial applications.

Submission Guidelines: Submitted papers must present original previously unpublished work which must not be under review elsewhere. This year the paper review process will be blind, which means that authors cannot, by any means (i.e. directly or indirectly), be identified. Submissions violating the above rules will not be considered for publication.

Preferably, papers should be written in English, although the authors may also consider Portuguese or Spanish. However, presentation slides and posters must be in English.

There will be two calls, for regular papers (up to 8 pages in final format) and for Work-in-Progress papers (up to 4 pages in final format). The paper template can be downloaded from the SBC site ("Modelo para publicação de artigos"). To submit the papers, authors must go through the JEMS conference management system. Both types of papers, regular and WiP, will be included in the proceedings, which will be published by the SBC.

The workshop will include one keynote speech by a renowned researcher in the field, a few regular sessions and one Work-in-Progress session to capture very recent on-going work. The WiP session will include short oral presentations and a poster session.

Information about registration, and venue can be found in the SBRC site .
