Call for Papers

Scope and topics of interest
Papers on all aspects of timing requirements in computer systems are welcome. Systems of interest include not only hard real-time systems but also time-sensitive systems in general (e.g., systems with soft requirements expressed in terms of tail latency, latency SLAs, QoS expectations, etc.). Typical applications are found not only in classical embedded and cyber-physical systems, but also increasingly in cloud or edge computing contexts, and often stem from domains such as automotive, avionics, telecommunications, healthcare, robotics, and space systems, among others. To be in scope, papers must address some form of timing requirement, broadly construed.

ECRTS welcomes theoretical and practical contributions (including tools, benchmarks, and case studies) to the state of the art in the design, implementation, verification, and validation of time-sensitive systems.

In recent years, papers presented at ECRTS have addressed:

all elements of time-sensitive COMPUTER SYSTEMS, including operating systems, hypervisors, middlewares and frameworks, programming languages and compilers, runtime environments, networks and communication protocols, FPGAs, time-predictable processors and memory controllers, etc.;
REAL-TIME NETWORKS: including wired and wireless sensor and actuator networks, Time-Sensitive Networks (TSN), industrial IoT, Software Defined Network (SDN), 5G, end-to-end latency analysis, etc.;
static and dynamic techniques for RESOURCE DEMAND ESTIMATION, including stochastic and classic worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis, analyses to bound memory and bandwidth needs, and methods for determining the energy, power, or thermal footprint of real-time applications;
FORMAL METHODS for the verification and validation of real-time systems, including model checking, computer-assisted proofs, and runtime monitoring systems;
the interplay of timing predictability and other NON-FUNCTIONAL QUALITIES such as reliability, security, quality of control, energy/power consumption, environmental impact, testability, scalability, etc.;
foundational SCHEDULING and PREDICTABILITY questions, including schedulability analysis, algorithm design, synchronization protocols, computational complexity, temporal isolation, probabilistic guarantees, etc.;
REAL-TIME APPLICATION design and evaluation: including automotive, avionics, control systems, industrial automation, robotics, space, railways telecommunications, multimedia, etc.; and
last but not least, emerging topics such as the use of MACHINE LEARNING techniques in safety-critical systems.Scope and topics of interest

Overview

This ranking presents an authoritative listing of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science. The ranking has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, a leading portal for science research across all major disciplines. Since 2014, Research.com has established a reputation for providing trusted and comprehensive data on scientific contributions and advancements, including those within Computer Science.

The position of each conference in the ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score, an exclusive metric developed by Research.com’s team of experts. This score is computed using a combination of the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference during the past three years. The Impact Score values represented in this ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the timeliness and relevance of the data provided.

The process of compiling this ranking involved an extensive review of more than 2,742 Computer Science conferences. These were selected following a rigorous and detailed examination of over 148,739 scientific documents published within the last three years. Furthermore, contributions from 13,184 leading and well-respected scientists in the Computer Science community were thoroughly analyzed to ensure both depth and accuracy.

For those seeking an in-depth understanding of the methodology used to compute the ranking scores and to appreciate the complexity and precision of the analysis, comprehensive information is available on our Methodology Page.

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each conference is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (based on the number of publications) are:

James H. Anderson (16 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
Sanjoy Baruah (13 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
Björn Andersson (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
Geoffrey Nelissen (8 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
Alan Burns (8 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top authors.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (based on the number of publications) are:

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2016 edition, 3.45% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 57.14% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 7.14% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.86% of all publications and 17.86% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
