4th Workshop on Compositional Theory and Technology for Real‐Time Embedded Systems

Topics of interest: The increasing complexity of real‐time embedded systems requires advanced methodologies that can reduce the cost of their design and analysis, while ensuring that requirements on functional correctness, real‐ time behaviour, and performance are met. Compositional theories and technologies facilitate the decomposition of a complex system into components, as well as their integration via interfaces. Component interfaces hide the internal details of the components, thereby reducing integration complexity. A system is said to be composable if the properties established and validated for components in isolation hold once the components are integrated to form the system.

Topics of interest to CRTS include
(but are not limited to):
• Composition of single processor, multiprocessor, and distributed systems
• Composition of multi‐criticality and multi‐mode systems
• Composition of policies, services, and system layers
• Composition of validation and verification techniques
• Interface models, interface theories, and integration techniques for real‐time components
• Compositional schedulability analysis, execution time analysis, and performance analysis
• Compositional formal methods
• Tradeoffs between optimality, associativity, and complexity in compositional theory
• Practical issues in composition including performance penalties and overheads
• Experimental and implementation frameworks for compositional theory
• Decomposition of requirements for component‐based development

CRTS invites papers that describe state‐of‐the‐art research, present work‐in‐progress, or suggest open problems covering one or more of the topics of interest to the workshop. Submissions should not exceed 8 pages in two‐ column, single‐space, 10pt format, and should be made electronically via: https://www.softconf.com/c/crts2011/

By submitting a paper, the authors agree and confirm that: neither this paper nor a version close to it is under submission or will be submitted elsewhere before notification by CRTS 2011, and if accepted, at least one author will register for the CRTS 2011 workshop by the special registration deadline set in the notification of acceptance, and present the paper at the workshop in person. Please note that papers that do not fall within the scope of the workshop will not be accepted. Submissions will be refereed for quality and relevance. Submissions exceeding the page limit may be rejected without review.
