The 32nd IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS) in Vienna,Austria will follow the format of recent RTSSs, with three tracks beyond the main track. RTSS is the premier conference in the area of real-time computing, presenting innovations in the field with respect to theory and practice.

RTSS provides a forum for the presentation of high-quality, original research covering all aspects of real-time systems design, analysis, implementation, evaluation, and case-studies. RTSS'11 continues the trend of making RTSS an expansive and inclusive symposium, looking to embrace new and emerging areas of real-time systems research.

RTSS'11 welcomes the submission of mature papers in several areas of real-time computing, including but not limited to scheduling; databases; observability; composability; security for RTS; tools and reduction to practice; control and adaptive RT systems theory; testing and debugging; modeling; formal methods; communications (wireless, wireline, and sensor networks); power, thermal, and energy management; embedded systems; sensor and implantable devices; fault tolerance and robustness; intelligent behavior; time-sensitive robotics; emergency/disaster management; embedded real-time systems and infrastructures; QoS support; real-time systems middleware.

In addition to the main real-time track, this year we will continue with the successful format of previous years with three specialized tracks on:

Cyber-physical Systems
Design and Verification of Embedded Real-Time Systems
Wireless Sensor Networks

Although authors will choose which tracks to submit papers to, a paper may be redirected to a more appropriate track. Accepted papers from all tracks will appear in the main program.
