The ECRTS / WATERS industrial challenge has been originally created as a satellite event to the International Workshop on Analysis Tools and Methodologies for Embedded Real-Time Systems (WATERS). The purpose of the industrial challenge is to share ideas, experiences, use cases and solutions to concrete timing design and verification problems issued from real industrial case studies. Our goal is to promote discussions, closer interactions and cross fertilization of ideas within the real-time community as a whole, in particular bridging between researchers in academia and industrial practitioners from different application domains.
Current Challenge
- ARM – Augmented Reality Heads-Up-Display
- Thales -Thales – Time Sensitive Network (TSN) reconfiguration
- Additional Material – https://github.com/ecrtsorg
Past Challenges
- Bosch – Real-world automotive software benchmarks
- Dassault – Middleware for drone-like cyber-physical systems
- Thales – Aerial video system to detect and track a moving object, e.g. a vehicle on a roadway
Contribute a Solution
The ECRTS industrial challenge aims to facilitate discussion and gathering feedback on the solutions and welcomes the submission of two types of contributions:
- Full solutions, possibly focusing only on selected aspects of the challenge
- Early stage proposals that present preliminary results and road-maps to achieve a complete solution
Authors will have the opportunity to explain their results and discuss culprits and trade-offs with a short presentation.
Full solutions should present the strengths and limitations of the used approach. Authors are strongly encouraged to implement their solution and make it available along with the submission. The proposed solutions should also discuss how much time and effort was needed by the authors to (a) understand the challenge and (b) solve it.
As a first this year, authors, whose solutions are accepted for presentation at ECRTS will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue of the journal Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems (LITES).
Submission Instructions
Submissions can be made at any time until the final submission deadline. Feedback is to be expected within one week from the submission.
Final Deadlines:
- Full Solutions: May 12th, AoE
- Early Stage Proposals: May 12th, AoE
NOTE: The copyright remains with the authors. By submitting a solution, the authors agree and confirm that, if accepted, at least one author will register for ECRTS, and present the solution in person.
The accepted solutions will be made available online on GitHub (https://github.com/ecrtsorg) before the conference so that contributions can be examined prior to the event. Accepted solutions will also be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue of the journal Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems (LITES).
