	IEEE Real-Time Technology and Application Symposium
	===================================================

			May 15-17, 1995
			    Chicago

	Since the early 80's, we have witnessed an increased interest in
real-time technology because of the need for scientific solutions for
time-constrained information processing in various applications such as
avionics, multimedia, robotics, automated process control, and manufacturing.
Founded in 1983, the IEEE Workshop on Real-Time Operating Systems and Software
(RTOSS) has been an important annual forum for exchanging information of
emerging principles and practices underlying real-time technology. 
Consequently, we are seeing a substantial number of new researchers tackling
the many challenging problems that remain. Due to the interest shown in, and
the success of, the RTOSS, the IEEE technical committee on real-time systems
has decided to convert RTOSS into a full symposium entitled: Real-Time
Technology and Applications Symposium.

	The purpose of this symposium is to bring together developers and
researchers from universities, industry, and government to advance real-time
technology and its applications. Papers on all aspects of real-time computing
are sought, including operating systems and scheduling, fault-tolerance,
databases, programming languages, tools, communication networks, architectures,
performance modeling, formal methods, case studies, and applications. Of
particular interest are papers detailing experiments and implementations. This
year we are planning special sessions in the areas such as Intelligent Vehicle
Highway Systems and Multimedia. Papers on these topics are especially
encouraged.

        Manuscripts should be limited to 20 double spaced pages. Papers
submitted to the Symposium should not be submitted elsewhere. Six copies of
the paper should reach the program chair no later than January 7, 1995. Authors
will be notified of acceptance by Feb 28, 1995. Final camera-ready manuscripts
will be due by March 31, 1995. Proposals for two-hour tutorials in technical
areas of the conference are also solicited.  Tutorial proposals should be
submitted to the program chair by January 7, 1995.
