33rd IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS 2027)

May 17-20, 2027, Boulder, Colorado, USA

Scope & Topics

33rd IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS 2027) brings together researchers, engineers, academics, and practitioners working on real-time, embedded, cyber-physical, distributed, and other systems with timing requirements.

The conference focuses on systems with timing requirements, including classical hard real-time systems as well as systems with soft real-time, probabilistic, quality-of-service (QoS), throughput, and latency requirements.

RTAS 2027 welcomes papers describing applications, case studies, methodologies, tools, algorithms, operating systems, middleware, and hardware/software innovations that contribute to the design, implementation, validation, verification, and evolution of systems with timing requirements.
