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.
A Forum for Innovation and Exchange
The Hot Topics Day is designed to stimulate community engagement through a diverse mix of sessions, including:
- Full-day and Half-day Workshops – Structured to encourage in-depth discussion and collaboration on timely topics in the field.
- Special Sessions – 1.5-hour events centered on visionary and emerging themes, featuring three invited talks curated by the session organizers.
- Tutorials – Compact 1.5-hour sessions designed to provide foundational or advanced knowledge on technical subjects relevant to the RTSS community.
- Competitions – Designed to connect researchers and practitioners across different domains through practical challenges.
Suggested Topics
We invite proposals on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Autonomous systems (e.g., autonomous vehicles and robots)
- Machine learning for and in real-time systems
- Impact of large language models (LLMs) and generative AI in real-time system design
- Real-time cloud and edge computing
- Safety, reliability, and security of learning-based and autonomous systems
- Industrial automation, smart manufacturing, and Industry 4.0
- 5G-enabled real-time applications
- Cyber-physical systems and the Internet-of-Things (IoT)
- Explainable real-time systems
- Optimization of complex real-time systems
