RTSS 2025

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After some papers were withdrawn by their authors, the RTSS 2025 Program Committee evaluated 200 submissions.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.

RTSS 2025 is looking for industrial partners to fill sponsorship opportunities.

By becoming an RTSS 2025 sponsor, your organization will connect with a highly qualified technical audience comprised of researchers from universities, applied research institutes, and industry. This is a unique opportunity to boost your visibility and promote your brand among leading real-time systems researchers and potential future employees. Refer to the RTSS sponsorship overview for different levels of sponsorship and further details.

Please contact the RTSS 2025 General Chair, Richard West (richwest@bu.edu), to initiate your sponsorship or for any additional information. All sponsors will be acknowledged in print, on the web, in the conference program, and during the opening and closing sessions of the conference.

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.
