CONFERENCE HIGHLIGTHS
Pursuing a successful tradition in the ECRTS series, a special Work in Progress (WiP) session will be organised. This session is mainly intended for presentation of on-going and recent work. Additionally, a set of Satellite Workshops focusing on hot topics will be organised. These include the continuation of the already successful real-time networks (RTN) and worst-case execution time (WCET) workshops, the ninth editions). A separate call for papers will be issued later for both WiP and satellite workshops. Please visit the website later for further information.

The main conference will include three Keynote Sessions, one per day, which will be announced well in advance to the event. In this year's edition, besides the Best Paper Award, a selection of best papers will be invited for a Special Issue of an international journal.
