ERTS 2020 Call for papers

The congress targets all the domains where embedded systems are crucial, such as, but not limited to, transportation (aeronautics, automotive, railway, subway, marine, unmanned vehicle, space exploration and satellite applications), e-healthcare, smart agriculture, industry, defence, energy, and telecom domains.

The congress welcomes submissions of research contribution, research - industrial transfer, industrial feedbacks on new technologies and position papers on major trends. This 10th edition encourages in particular contributions bringing innovative cross-fertilising ideas for safe and secure intelligent systems within all critical applications featuring advanced autonomy.

Original, unpublished regular papers are solicited. Selection will be made based firstly on the review of extended abstracts (4 pages) followed by the review of the full paper (10 pages) for final acceptance. Accepted regular papers will be published in the proceedings and presented in a on oral session at the conference (registration by at least one author is mandatory).

Short papers reporting on research work in progress  are also solicited. Selection will be based on the review of the full short paper (4 pages). Each accepted short papers will be published in the proceedings and presented as poster at the conference  (registration by at least one author is mandatory).
