Scope
The International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Real-Time Systems is a forum for the presentation and discussion of approaches, research findings, and experiences in the area of parallel and distributed real-time systems. Both research and development of relevant technologies are of interest, as well as the applications built using such technologies. This year features 4 special and invited sessions that highlight recent advances in real-time systems. Submissions to both general sessions and special sessions are solicited.
General Paper Sessions
These sessions will present high-quality papers submitted to the workshop and selected by the program committee for presentation and publication at WPDRTS.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to
Adaptive and reflective real-time systems

Applications, benchmarks, and tools

Architectures and hardware/software co-design

Distributed real-time and embedded middleware

Fault-tolerance, security, and robustness

Real-time operating systems
