Organizing Committee

Steering Committee Members

Behind every successful symposium stands a thoughtful organising committee, and the leadership group for this real-time computing event brings together experienced researchers from across the globe. The organising chair oversees the broad direction of the program, coordinating venues, schedules, and the many moving parts that allow an international conference to run smoothly. Steering committee chairs help guide long-term vision and continuity, ensuring the symposium remains aligned with the evolving needs of the real-time systems community. Their combined efforts create a welcoming, well-structured gathering for everyone who attends.

Committee members represent a deliberately international spread, drawing on expertise from universities and research institutions across multiple continents. This diversity reflects the global nature of real-time and embedded systems research, where collaboration between regions strengthens the field as a whole. Members contribute to shaping the technical program, reviewing submissions, and recommending workshops or special sessions that respond to current challenges. By pooling perspectives from different academic traditions and industry contexts, the committee helps the symposium remain relevant and inclusive for researchers, practitioners, and students alike.

Emeritus members play a quieter but no less important role, offering continuity and institutional memory that newer members may lack. Having witnessed the long evolution of real-time computing from its earliest workshops to today's broad international gatherings, they can contextualise current debates and gently steer discussions toward enduring questions. Their presence reminds participants that the discipline builds on decades of work in scheduling theory, distributed architectures, and dependable system design. Engaging with their experience enriches the program beyond what any single year's papers can offer.

The committee's work extends well before the symposium's opening day, often beginning many months in advance. Calls for papers, workshop proposals, tutorial suggestions, and special issue plans all flow through careful deliberation. Members help set submission guidelines, review timelines, and acceptance notifications, balancing the desire for thorough evaluation with the community's need for timely feedback. Camera-ready preparation and proceedings coordination are similarly managed, so authors can share polished contributions that reflect the high standards expected of an IEEE-affiliated event.

Throughout the process, the organising team also considers the human side of the conference. They recommend accessible venues, suggest convenient hotel options, and think about dining and local experiences that make the trip rewarding for visitors. Visa invitation letters, tourism recommendations, and friendly social events all fall within their attention. By caring for these practical and cultural details, the committee ensures that the symposium is not only a forum for technical exchange but also a memorable gathering that encourages lasting collaboration across the real-time computing community.
