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

The purpose of the 8th Junior Researcher Workshop on Real-Time Computing is to 
bring together junior researchers working on real-time systems  (PhD students, 
postdocs, etc). 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 be based on short presentations that encourage discussion by the 
conference attendees.

The scope of the JRWRTC 2014 includes (but is not limited to) the following 
areas:
    * 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

            - middleware and component-based technologies
            - operating systems
            - databases
    * Real-time applications:
            - automotive
            - avionics
            - telecommunications
            - process control
            - multimedia
