Background


The goal of the workshop is to bring together people from academia, tool
vendors and users in industry who are interested in all aspects of timing
analysis for real-time systems. The workshop fosters a highly interactive \
format with ample time for in-depth discussions. It provides a relaxed forum
to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions, and to review
current trends in this area.


The presentations will be kept short to leave plenty of time for interaction
of attendees.


The topics of the workshop include any issue related to timing analysis, in
particular:


* Different approaches to WCET computation
* Flow analysis for WCET, loop bounds, feasible paths
* Low-level timing analysis, modeling and analysis of processor features
* Strategies to reduce the complexity of WCET analysis
* Integration of WCET and schedulability analysis
* Methods and benchmarks for WCET analysis evaluation
* Case studies, and industrial experience of WCET analysis
* Measurement-based WCET analysis
* Tools for WCET analysis
* Program and processor design for timing predictability
* Integration of WCET analysis in development procedures
* Compiler optimizations for worst-case paths
* WCET analysis for multi-threaded and multi-core systems
* WCET analysis in the academic curriculum


Statements which are innovative, controversial, or that present new
approaches are especially sought.
