===== Call for papers =====


The purpose of the 6th Junior Researcher Workshop on Real-Time Computing (JRWRTC 2012) is to bring together junior researchers
working on real-time systems (PhD students, postdoc). It will provide a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas,
new research directions, and to review current trends in this area.


The workshop will involve short presentations and a poster session to encourage discussions by the conference attendees.


The scope of the JRWRTC 2012 includes, but is not limited to, the following areas and challenges:
    * real-time system design and analysis:
            - task and message scheduling
            - modeling
            - verification
            - evaluation
            - model-driven development
            - worst-case execution time estimation
            - distributed systems
            - fault tolerance
            - quality of service
            - security
    * infrastructure and hardware for real-time systems:
            - wired and wireless communication networks
            - fieldbuses
            - networked control systems
            - sensor networks
            - power-aware scheduling
    * software technologies for real-time systems:
            - compilers
            - programming languages
            - middleware and component-based technologies
            - operating systems
            - databases
    * real-time applications:
            - automotive
            - avionics
            - telecommunications
            - process control
            - multimedia
