RTSS 2025

RTSS 2025 is excited to announce the continuation of its Hot Topics Day, a dedicated forum scheduled to take place on the day prior to the main conference (December 2, 2025). Following the success of previous years, the Hot Topics Day remains a vibrant platform to explore emerging research areas and developing trends in the field of real-time and embedded systems.

Submit your proposals by July 7, 2025.

With the submission deadline now behind us, we are very happy to share that RTSS’25 received slightly over 200 papers, a substantial growth in submissions. We thank all authors for their trust and for submitting their work to RTSS’25.

The program committee is now hard at work to select the strongest and most interesting program possible. Mark your calendars and plan your travel; we will have many interesting talks and outstanding work presented in Boston this coming December.

In the meantime, stay tuned for upcoming calls for workshops, the work-in-progress track, and more.

Authors are invited to submit supplemental research artifacts such as source code, mechanized proofs, data sets, formal models, short demo videos, etc. alongside their manuscripts.

To this end, the paper submission form on HotCRP provides the opportunity upload supplemental materials (up to 600 MB, as a ZIP archive). Ideally, each submitted artifact should contain a README with a table of contents, an overview or guidance for reviewers, and reproduction instructions (if applicable).

Authors should make use of the official option to provide supplemental materials alongside their manuscripts rather than linking to repositories on GitHub or elsewhere.

Please refer to the paper submission guidelines for further details.

The conference site now accepts submissions until the paper submission deadline (May 22, 2025, anywhere on Earth).

Please refer to the submission instructions for further information and author guidelines.

RTSS’25 is an in-person conference (i.e., it is not a hybrid conference), but exceptions can be made for authors on a case-by-case basis according to the following TCRTS guidance:

In-person presentations are expected. However, if an author has a valid reason why neither they nor their co-authors can attend the conference in person, then exceptions can potentially be made at the discretion of the Program Chair. Authors who know in advance that this will apply to them, for example because they cannot get a visa for the host country, should contact the Program Chair prior to paper submission.

Following existing TCRTS policy, one author will be required to register for the conference at the “in-person” rate (either student or full) in any case.

Please contact the track chairs by email via rtss25-track-chairs@mpi-sws.org if you would like to inquire about a possible exception or in case of any questions.

The conference organizers are aware of recent reports about changing US border control and visa policies and their enforcement, and are closely monitoring the situation.

At this point, no specific policies have been announced by RTSS. (Update 2025-05-01: there is now a policy.) We would like to assure all authors that we will find solutions in the case that any travel complications arise.

In case of questions, please contact the general and program chairs.

Check out the call for papers and start planning your submissions!
