	8th Int'l Workshop on Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis (WCET'08)
				July 1st, 2008
				Prague - Czech Republic
	 http://www.artist-embedded.org/artist/-WCET-08-.html

		in conjunction with the 20th ECRTS conference
			http://dce.felk.cvut.cz/ecrts08/

The Euromicro Technical Committee organizes a number of satellite 
events attached to its 20th International Real-Time Systems Conference. 
This workshop is the eighth on the series of WCET workshops that started
at the 2001 Euromicro conference. 

The goal of the workshop is to bring together people from
academia, tool vendors and users in industry that are interested
in all aspects of timing analysis for real-time systems.
The workshop fosters a highly interactive format with ample time
for in-depth discussions.
It provides a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas, new
research directions, and to review current trends in this area.
The presentations will be kept short to leave plenty of time for
interaction of attendees.

The topics of the workshop include any issue related to timing analysis,
in particular: 
- Different approaches of WCET computation
- Flow analysis for WCET 
- Low-level timing analysis, modeling and analysis of processor features 
- Strategies to reduce the complexity of WCET analysis 
- Integration of WCET and schedulability analysis 
- Evaluation and case studies
- Measurement-based WCET analysis
- Tools for timing analysis
- Design for timing predictability
- Integration of WCET analysis into the development process 
- Compiler optimizations for worst-case paths 
- WCET analysis for multi-processors, multi-cores or SMTs 

Statements which are innovative, controversial, or that present new 
approaches are specially sought. 

IMPORTANT DATES:
	Submission deadline: April 14
	Notification of acceptance: May 23
	Submission of corrected papers: June 14
	Broadcast of papers to attendees: June 20
	Workshop: July 1
	Final version of papers: September 8

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
People who would like to participate in this event are asked
to submit a paper (PDF). The paper format, author kit, and the 
submission system are available at the workshop homepage:
     http://pan.vmars.tuwien.ac.at/wcet2008/
Upon acceptance, a corrected version of the paper should be
prepared and submitted. All papers will be made available to all 
participants a week before the workshop so that contributions can 
be examined prior to the workshop.
After the workshop authors will be asked to produce an updated final 
version of their paper that includes the issues covered in the 
discussions. The deadline for these final versions is September 8, 
2008. The workshop proceedings with the final papers will be 
published by the Austrian Computer Society (OCG) as OCG 
Schriftenreihe (with ISBN number).
The authors of selected papers will be invited to submit expanded 
versions for publication in the Springer Real-Time Systems Journal.
