GOAL
======

The workshop is seeking original research and position papers 
dealing with hot topics in real-time networks. Innovative 
and/or controversial ideas are specially sought. This year, 
RTN 2009 particularly encourages submissions on Wireless Sensor 
Networks and Applications. Prospective authors are also 
encouraged to address any issues about real-time, QoS and 
dependability in computer networks. Areas of interest include, 
but are not limited to:

 * Wireless Sensor Networks and Applications (highlight of this year)
 * Real-Time Tracking
 * Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things
 * Wireless Technologies (IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee, WiMax, UWB)
 * Communication Protocols: ( MAC and Network layer issues, distributed
scheduling, etc.)
 * Networked Embedded Systems
 * Infrastructures for Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing Systems
 * Performance Evaluation, Simulation and Modeling Tools
 * Real-Time Network Management
 * Time Synchronization
 * Quality of Service and Dependable Systems
 * Domotics, Automotive Networks
 * Implementation, Experimentation and Case Studies



======================
FORMAT OF THE WORKSHOP
======================

The workshop will feature invited talks, including keynotes, panel
