- worst-case execution time estimation
- distributed systems
- fault tolerance
- quality of service
- security
* Infrastructure and hardware for real-time systems:

- fieldbuses
- networked control systems
- sensor networks
- power-aware scheduling
* Software technologies for real-time systems:
- compilers
- programming languages
- middleware and component-based technologies
