RTSS 2025 Banquet at Fenway Park
We are delighted to announce that the RTSS 2025 conference banquet will take place in a very special place: Fenway Park, the iconic and historic home of the Boston Red Sox!

Check out the exciting conference program, register now, and join us (not only) for a very special evening at Fenway Park!
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!

BP Track Submissions Open
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- Work-in-Progress (WiP) papers, which should focus on ongoing, unpublished work that discusses evolving and early-stage ideas, explores new research directions, and highlights current trends in the field.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!
