OSPERT 2009 call for papers

please consider posting a news story about the Call for Papers for the  
OSPERT'09 workshop on Linux Weekly News. OSPERT'09 is co-located with  
one of the premier academic real-time conferences (ECRTS'09) and some  
of the most-applied work by the academic RT community will be  
presented there.

	http://ospert09.cister-isep.info/

This year's co-chair is Peter Zijlstra of Linux fame; this choice  
represents an honest effort by the academic RT community to encourage  
increased cooperation with practitioners and especially the Linux  
community. I'm convinced academia can learn a lot from the "real-world  
engineering challenges" encountered by the Linux community; similarly,  
the Linux community could certainly profit from discussions with the  
leading researchers in the field of real-time computing. This is  
especially true given the on-going interest in integrating real-time  
scheduling policies such as EDF in PREEMPT_RT and eventually mainline  
Linux.

Please consider supporting cooperation and exchange of ideas between  
the academic and Linux real-time communities by spreading the word.

Thanks,
Bjoern

> Research on innovative RTOS architectures and services is a hot topic.
> Developers of Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) are faced with many

> This workshop is intended as a forum for researchers and practitioners
> of RTOS to discuss the recent advances in RTOS technology and the

> Topics include but are not limited to:
>
>   * Dynamic reconfiguration and upgrading;
>   * Support for component based development;
>   * Scalability, from very small scale embedded systems to
>     full-fledged OSes;

>   * Coordinated management of multiple resources;

> ====================

> People who would like to participate in this event are asked to

> can be
> examined prior to the workshop.
> The workshop fosters a highly interactive format of presentations
> combined with ample time for in-depth discussions. Authors have the
> opportunity to submit a final version of their paper that includes
> issues raised at the workshop. The final papers will be published in a
> workshop proceedings, as a IPP technical report.
> To foster the workshop character, the number of participants may be
> limited. There will be a small charge for workshop registration (more
> details will be announced later). See the Euromicro Conference on
