Following the meetings of developers and users at the previous 9 successful workshops on real-time Linux, the Real-Time Linux Workshop for 2008 will come to Mexico, to be held at the Centro Universitario del Norte, University of Guadalajara.
Embedded and real-time Linux is a continuously growing player in the embedded appliance market. World-wide initiatives in the industrial world have been moving embedded and real-time Linux into automation/control safety related applications and also into industrial applications with high security demands alongside typical control capabilities. Embedded systems in automation/control, measurement and robotics have been continuously moving towards 32-bit systems, opening the door for the use of full featured OS like GNU/Linux on COTS based systems. With real-time capabilities being a common demand for embedded systems, the soft and hard real-time variants are an important extension to the versatile GNU/Linux GPOS.
Authors are invited to submit original work dealing with general topics related to real-time Linux research, experiments and case studies, as well as issues of integration of real-time and embedded Linux. A special focus will be on industrial applications and safety related systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
- Real-time programming models and methods in mainstream-Linux
- Modifications and variants of the GNU/Linux operating system extending
and its real-time capabilities
- Contributions to real-time Linux variants, drivers and extensions.
- User-mode real-time concepts, implementation and experience
- Real-time Linux applications, in academia, research and industry
- Real-time Linux in measurement and data-acquisition systems
- Linux/real-time Linux in safety-related systems
- Signal processing with Linux/real-time Linux.
- Work in progress reports, covering recent developments
- Educational material on real-time Linux.
- Tools for embedding Linux or real-time Linux and embedded real-time Linux applications
- RTOS core concepts, RT-safe synchronization mechanisms
- Analysis and Benchmarking methods and results of real-time GNU/Linux variants.
- Debugging techniques and tools, both for code and temporal debugging of core RTOS components, drivers and real-time applications
- Real-time related extensions to development environments
