RTAS'16, the 22nd in a series of annual conferences sponsored by the IEEE, will be held in Vienna, Austria, as part of the Cyber-Physical Systems Week (CPSWeek) in April, 2016. CPS Week 2016 will bring together leading conferences, including the International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN'16), the International Conference on Hybrid Systems (HSCC'16), the International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS'16), and RTAS'16.

RTAS'16 invites papers describing original systems and applications, case studies, methodologies and applied algorithms that contribute to the state of practice in the broad field of real-time embedded systems and real-time computing. RTAS'16 invites papers along three tracks: (1) Applications, RTOSs & Run-Time Software and Tools, (2) Applied Methodologies and Foundations, and (3) Embedded Systems Design for Real-Time Applications. To be in scope for RTAS'16, all papers must address real-time constraints.
