Eighth Real-Time Linux Workshop
October 12-15, 2006 Lanzhou University - SISE
TianshuiSouth Road 222 Lanzhou, Gansu 730000 P.R.China
General
Following the meetings of developers and users at the previous 7 successful real-time Linux workshops held in
Vienna,Orlando, Milano, Boston, and Valencia, Singapore, Lille, the Real-Time Linux Workshop for 2006 will come
backto Asia again, to be held at the School for Information Science and Engineering, Lanzhou University, in Lanzhou
China.
Embedded and real-time Linux is rapidly gaining traction in the Asia Pacific region. Embedded systems in both
automation/control and entertainment moving to 32/64bit systems, opening the door for the use of full featured OS
like GNU/Linux on COTS based systems. With real-time capabilities being a common demand for embedded systems the
soft and hard real-time variants are an important extension to the versatile GNU/Linux GPOS.
Authors are invited to submit original work dealing with general topics related to real-time Linux
research, experiments and case studies, as well as issues of integration of real-time and embedded Linux. A
specialfocus will be on industrial case studies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Modifications and variants of the GNU/Linux operating system extending its real-time capabilities, *
Contributionsto real-time Linux variants, drivers and extensions, * User-mode real-time concepts, implementation and
experience, * Real-time Linux applications, in academia, research and industry, * Work in progress reports,
coveringrecent developments, * Educational material on real-time Linux, * Tools for embedding Linux or real-time
Linuxand embedded real-time Linux applications, * RTOS core concepts, RT-safe synchronization mechanisms, *
RT-safeinteraction of RT and non RT components, * IPC mechanisms in RTOS, * Analysis and Benchmarking methods and
resultsof real-time GNU/Linux variants, * Debugging techniques and tools, both for code and temporal
debuggingof core RTOS components, drivers and real-time applications, * Real-time related extensions to
developmentenvironments. Further information: EN: http://www.realtimelinuxfoundation.org/events/rtlws-2006/ws.html
