The time is right for this workshop: top researchers in these areas are addressing many similar problems, but with slightly different perspectives and technologies. LCT-RTS provides a forum where these researchers can share their results and directions, and where they can potentially form new collaborations based on common interests. MOTIVATION: Until recently real-time systems development was the province of experienced specialists, who were trained to deal both at very high and low levels of abstraction. Programmers were faced with a variety of custom kernels, non-standard languages and vendor-specific device interfaces. System integration inevitably involved a complicated process of taking timing measurements, hand-tuning the code, and then re-measuring. These ad-hoc techniques have not scaled to support modern systems, which often possess multiple, complex, interacting components. There is a growing desire to adopt advanced design strategies, standard kernels, reusable modules, generic languages and the like. Also, the majority of real-time developers is longer drawn from the ranks of embedded controls experts; rather, it is composed of animators, physicists, video producers, musicians, medical technicians, automotive engineers, manufacturing engineers, etc. New software approaches are necessary to support these new systems, and this new generation of real-time programmers. THE WORKSHOP: ACM SIGPLAN LCT-RTS '95 is devoted to investigating software technologies for contemporary real-time systems. This is the second LCT-RTS workshop; last year's meeting showed that there is significant interest in this area. Original submissions are invited in all areas relevant to this theme, including (but not restricted to) the following list of topics: * Programming Languages for Real-Time: Industrial and Research * Design: Requirements, System Specification, Analysis * Exception Handling: Semantics, Policies, Mechanisms * Prototyping Languages * Timing Analysis: Static and Dynamic Approaches * Scheduling Analysis * Realtime on RISC: Caches, Register Windows, Pipelines * Realtime Memory Management and Garbage Collection * Support for Parallelism and Data Placement * Program Transformation and Optimization for Real-Time Performance * Profiling, Measurement and Debugging * System Integration and Testing Of particular interest are case studies, or experimental results based on application-building experiences; for example in interactive graphics, imaging, manufacturing, etc. Papers should report new research, and should not exceed 5000 words (approximately 10 pages typeset 10-point on 16-point spacing, or 15 typewritten double-spaced pages). Short papers are also welcomed, which describe existing implementations, work-in-progress, or new problems and important issues. Short papers should not exceed 3000 words (6 pages). All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and published in the proceedings. SUBMISSION: Please submit seven (7) copies of papers, to: ACM SIGPLAN LCT-RTS Attn: Richard Gerber Department of Computer Science University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 USA Papers will be reviewed the program committee for appropriateness of content and presentation. Proceedings will be distributed at the workshop.
