Abstract

SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST OSPERT′19 is open to all topics related to providing a reliable and efficient operating environment for real–time and embedded applications. Developers of embedded RTOSs are faced with many challenges arising from two opposite needs: on the one hand there is a need for extreme resource usage optimization (processor cycles, energy, network bandwidth, etc.), and on the other hand there are also increasing demands in terms of scalability, flexibility, isolation, adaptivity, reconfigurability, predictability, serviceability, and certifiability, to name a few. Further, while special–purpose RTOSs continue to be used for many embedded applications, real–time services are also increasingly introduced and used in general–purpose operating systems, and market pressures continue to blur the lines between the two formerly distinct classes of operating systems. Notable examples are the various flavors of real–time Linux that support time–sensitive applications, the emergence of commercial and open–source real–time hypervisors, as well as the growth in features and scope of embedded OS and middleware specifications such as AUTOSAR. OSPERT′19 is dedicated to the advances in RTOS technology required to address these trends. As such, areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics: – Case studies and experience reports – Consolidation of real–time and best–effort work on embedded platforms – Certification and verification of RTOSs and middleware – Coordinated management of multiple resources – Dynamic reconfiguration and upgrading – Empirical comparisons and evaluations of RTOSs – Flexible processor, memory, and I/O scheduling – Interaction with reconfigurable hardware – Operating system standards (e.g., AUTOSAR, ARINC, POSIX, etc.) – Power and energy management – Quality of Service guarantees – Real–time Linux variants – Real–time virtualization and hypervisors – RTOSs for manycore platforms – Scalability, from very small scale embedded systems to full–fledged RTOSs – Security and fault tolerance for embedded real–time systems – Support for multiprocessor architectures – Support for component–based development
