Sommario/riassunto |
|
This edition of the 12th IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS 2006) contains 38 peer-reviewed papers. RTAS has established itself as the premier academic conference addressing both the theory and practice of real-time and embedded computing. RTAS 2006 covers the traditional core area of real-time and |
