* Conference Overview

The RTCSA conference series brings together researchers and developers from academia and industry for advancing the technologies and theories to design and develop time-sensitive systems and applications. Representative examples include CPS, IoT, embedded systems, and fog/edge/cloud computing. RTCSA welcomes both academic and industrial papers that describe innovative research or technical results of embedded and real-time systems. The conference proceedings will be published by influential indexing services, such as IEEE Xplore, Elsevier Scopus, Clarivate Web of Science, Google Scholar, DBLP, etc.

* Information to Authors

+ Paper format: IEEE conference proceedings format (two-columns, single-space, 10pt)

+ Paper length limitation: 10 pages for regular papers and 6 pages for short papers, including references and acknowledgments. If the Program Committee decides to accept a full paper submission as a short paper, the authors will be notified to reduce the length of the manuscript.

+ Registration and no-show policies. Each accepted paper must have at least one author registering to the conference at the full registration rate. In addition, each accepted paper must be orally presented in person or via a teleconferencing system at the conference. RTCSA reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from the digital library and indexing services) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
