The WCTT workshop will gather together scientists and practitioners from both academia and industry to discuss methods for analysis of bounds on the traversal time in networked systems. Multi-hop, network-like traversal will be a mandatory requirement. Contributions that describe software tools for computing worst-case bounds and/or assess the scalability and accuracy of the performance methods will be given particular attention. The workshop values both theoretical and practical research. Experiences with real-life case studies (e.g., industrial networks of practical relevance, fieldbuses, embedded networks and network-on-chip) will also be appreciated, as well as those on the integration of applicative scheduling and network.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Methods:

• Network Calculus (both deterministic and stochastic),
• Real-time Calculus
• Trajectory Approach
• Event-based methods
• Formal methods

Areas of applications:

• Embedded systems
• Computer networks
• Network-on-Chip
• Industrial networks

We solicit submission of manuscripts that present original research results, not previously published nor currently under review by another conference or journal. All submitted papers will go through a rigorous peer review process. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. Accepted papers will appear on the ACM Digital Library and in the workshop proceedings. Distinguished papers, after further revisions, may be considered for a journal special issue.

Formatting and submission instruction can be found here.

Demo session

Practical demonstrations of prototype tools or applications employing WCTT computations are also invited. Demonstration abstracts are limited to two pages and should be submitted to the Open Demos Session of Real-Time Techniques and Technologies, which will take place following the workshop. Further details can be found at http://webpages.cister.isep.ipp.pt/~smp/RTSS@Work/
