Encompassing both computer-science and engineering aspects of real-time systems the 31 papers cover scheduling, experimental systems and applications, formal methods, synchronization, models and tools, communications, databases, timing analysis, resource allocation, and system implementation. Among the specific topics are optimizing interprocess communications for embedded systems, analyzing cache-related pre-emption delay in fixed-priority preemptive scheduling, exploiting data semantics to schedule transactions with temporal constraints, queuing theory, message transmission with timing constraints in ring networks, and approximate reachability analysis of times automata.
