The landscape of real-time embedded systems is rapidly evolving, driven by the convergence of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), edge intelligence, autonomous control, and Industry 5.0 initiatives. Modern applications—ranging from automotive and aerospace to robotics, smart factories, and intelligent infrastructure—require highly connected, timesensitive, and dependable embedded platforms that can operate under strict latency, safety, and energy constraints. To meet these demands, there is a growing shift toward parallel and distributed architectures, such as multi-core, many-core, and heterogeneous computing platforms—including AI accelerators and reconfigurable hardware. Simultaneously, increasing algorithmic complexity and autonomy in embedded software motivate new models of computation, coordination, and optimisation. The NG-RES workshop serves as a cross-disciplinary forum that brings together the networking, real-time, and multicore systems communities to address emerging challenges and share new ideas in the design and deployment of next-generation real-time embedded systems.

Submission Guidelines

Articles are up to 10 pages according to the OASIcs template, excluding the bibliography and the front page with authors, affiliation, keywords, abstract. Papers can have an optional appendix of up to 5 pages.

List of Topics

• Formal verification and timing analysis of distributed/parallel real-time systems
• Programming models and runtime frameworks for real-time execution on heterogeneous platforms (CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, AI accelerators)
• Scalable and predictable middleware for CPS, IoT, and IIoT
• Real-time networking protocols and services (e.g., TSN, DetNet, clock synchronisation)
• ML-assisted scheduling, resource management, and control in real-time systems
• Compiler and system software support for parallel and time-constrained workloads
• Virtualisation, containerization, and mixed-criticality management on multi-core platforms
• Real-time operating systems (RTOS), hypervisors, and separation kernels
• Distributed trust, resilience, and adaptive security for embedded CPS
• Approximate, sustainable, or low-power computing techniques with timing guarantees
