QNX to Highlight Opportunities in Education

This year, the RTSS Hot Topics Day features a special session by QNX. Of special note to educators and researchers, one of the topics discussed will be the QNX Everywhere program, which provides free and full access to QNX via a non-commercial license.

“The session will also explain the QNX Everywhere program, which provides the QNX RTOS for free for uses in academia, education, startups, prototyping, proof-of-concept, and hobbyists.”

For further details, check out the QNX Special Session. To attend, register for Hot Topics Day.

Program Announced

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!
