General Chair of the 20th IEEE Real-Time Applications Symposium

 Eduardo Tovar served as the General chair of the 20th IEEE Real-time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS 2014) which was held in Berlin, Germany, April 15-17 as part of Cyber-Physical Systems Week.

Since 2008, CPS Week is the premier event on Cyber-Physical Systems joining five top conferences in one single location, covering complementary aspects of CPS and bringing together internationally leading researchers in this dynamic field with over 600 participants in this year edition. The 20% acceptance rate of RTAS is a strong indicator of its quality and continuous interest as a premier venue for real-time topics.

RTAS is the oldest of these events and this year it is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Besides the regular paper sessions on topics such as architectures, scheduling, mixed criticalities and memory management, there was also an Industrial session with 5 invitees from Daimler, ETAS, Kalray, Airbus Group (former EADS) and AbsInt which presented real-life case studies of practical application of real-time and embedded systems in industry.
