The 20th EUROMICRO Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS'08) is a forum aimed at covering state-of-the-art research and development in real-time computing.

The conference includes three satellite workshops on:

• Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET)
• Real-Time Networks (RTN)
• Operating Systems Platforms for Embedded System Applications (OSPERT)

As a member of the technical committee, Rapita Systems’ CEO Dr. Guillem Bernat has been involved in organising the workshop on Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) since its inception in 2001.

The goal of the WCET 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.

Further details of the conference can be found on the ECRTS 2008 website.
