At the IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS) 2014 Conference: 2nd-5th December 2014.

The workshop aims to bring together researchers working in fields relating to real-time systems with a focus on the challenges brought about by the integration of mixed criticality applications onto singlecore, multicore and manycore architectures. These challenges are cross-cutting.

To advance rapidly, closer interaction is needed between the sub-communities involved in real-time scheduling, real-time operating systems / runtime environments, and timing analysis. The workshop aims to promote understanding of the fundamental problems that affect Mixed Criticality Systems (MCS) at all levels in the software/hardware stack and crucially the interfaces between them.

The workshop will promote lively interaction, cross fertilisation of ideas, synergies, and closer collaboration across the breadth of the real-time community, as well as attracting industrialists from the aerospace, automotive and other industries with a specific interest in MCS. Original unpublished papers on all aspects of mixed criticality real-time systems are welcome.

Themes include, but are not limited to:

*Task and system models for MCS on singlecore, multicore, and manycore platforms.

*Scheduling schemes and analyses for MCS, including the integration of appropriate models of overheads and delays.

*Run-time environments and support for MCS, including data exchange and synchronisation across criticality levels, and issues relating to criticality mode.

*Analysis of worst-case execution times (WCET) relating to MCS.

*Mixed criticality communications mechanisms and analysis, including Network-on-Chip support.

*Probabilistic analysis techniques for MCS.

The scope of the workshop is real-time, mixed criticality systems. Papers that do not relate to real-time behaviour (i.e. are solely about security or safety aspects of MCS) will be considered as out of scope.
