RTSS 2025

The RTSS 2025 program has been announced: this year’s program once again reflects the breadth and depth of the field: from formal foundations to new operating systems and applications, from severely resource-constrained platforms to LLM-serving multi-GPU systems—important timing constraints can be found virtually everywhere.

Join us in Boston from December 2 until December 5 to see the latest research and groundbreaking new results across 12 exciting sessions as well as Hot Topics Day.

Don’t delay, the early-registration deadline is approaching fast!

The RTSS’25 artifact evaluation process has concluded. Many thanks to the Artifact Evaluation Chair, Kilho Lee, and the panel of evaluators as well as all participating authors for their efforts towards improved reproducibility and artifact quality.

This year, the authors of 19 accepted or conditionally accepted papers elected to participate in the artifact evaluation process. Of these 19 submitted artifacts, 16 were deemed to satisfy the evaluation criteria.

The papers that successfully passed the artifact evaluation process are highlighted in the program. Congratulations to all authors who successfully participated in the artifact evaluation process!

The conference is now accepting registrations via the following link: https://cvent.me/qxa9ly. The early-bird cutoff date is November 11, 2025 — don’t hesitate, register now!

Please refer to the registration information page for further details.

If you require a visa invitation letter to attend, please register first and then follow the instructions provided here.

The RTSS 2025 Brief Presentations Track is now accepting submissions.

The Brief Presentations Track welcomes three types of submissions:

• Work-in-Progress (WiP) papers, which should focus on ongoing, unpublished work that discusses evolving and early-stage ideas, explores new research directions, and highlights current trends in the field.
• Work-Already-Published (WAP) papers (a.k.a. journal papers not yet presented), which consist of an extended abstract, limited to a maximum of 2 pages, of a previously published paper, and serve to raise awareness of work that has recently been published elsewhere and may not yet be widely known to RTSS participants.
• RTSS@Work demonstrations and experience reports, which provide an opportunity to showcase prototypes, tools, simulators, and systems that extend the state-of-the-art of technologies and techniques for real-time systems. 

Please refer to the BP Call for Contributions for details on the scope and submission requirements of these categories.

The Brief Presentations session takes place during RTSS’25. Authors of accepted papers will have the opportunity to present their work orally with slides during this main conference session, and to display a poster on the work at the poster reception. Don’t miss this opportunity to show your work to the RTSS community!

RTSS 2025 will continue the tradition of scheduling all outstanding papers, including the best paper and best student paper, to be presented in the conference’s last session on Friday, December 5, 2025, from 4pm until 6pm (tentatively).

Plan your travel itinerary accordingly — you do not want to miss out on the conference’s best papers! 🙂

The artifact submission deadline has been postponed to August 22, 2025.

Please refer to the Artifact Evaluation page for further details.

After some papers were withdrawn by their authors, the RTSS 2025 Program Committee evaluated 200 submissions. We sincerely thank all authors for submitting their manuscripts to RTSS 2025 for consideration. After peer review and discussion, the RTSS 2025 Program Committee (conditionally) accepted 44 out of the 200 evaluated submissions.

Please refer to the program page for a list of all accepted and conditionally accepted papers. Conditionally accepted papers are subject to a sherpherding process and will appear in the program subject to final shepherd approval.

A preview of the RTSS 2025 Hot Topics Day program is now online. This year’s event will again feature an exciting and diverse lineup of sessions and tutorials covering timely topics in operating systems, hypervisors, explainability, analysis, and optimization of real-time systems.

Highlights include a special session on QNX with a live robotics system demo, two focused workshops (OPERA and ERSA), and a hands-on tutorial on the Quest RTOS and Quest-V hypervisor. Check out the Hot Topics Day program preview for a short synopsis of each planned event.

Full details, calls for papers, and submission deadlines will be posted in early August—stay tuned!

By popular request, the submission deadline for Hot Topics Day events has been pushed back to July 15, 2025, to allow organizers to network at ECRTS 2025.

Proposals should be sent via e-mail as a PDF to the Hot Topics Day Chair, Paolo Gai. Please see the Hot Topics Day call for proposals for further details.
