Description :
-------------
 
This topic is dedicated to Fault Avoidance and Fault Removal means
in Real-Time Systems. Fault Avoidance is concerned with modelling means,
development processes and methods, etc., whereas Fault Removal covers models,
verification, testing and diagnosis techniques, etc. In the context of
Real-Time Systems, temporal parameters are important features of both
Fault Avoidance and Fault Removal. It also includes other issues of interest
such as the capabilities of the programming languages to avoid faults and 
to make easier their detections in the real-time applications, their associated 
implementations (such as predictable scheduling), the impact of hardware, etc.

We would like this topic to span from academia to applications and
from scientific approaches to well-engineered real-time systems case studies.

This topic is not concerned by fault tolerance and dependability evaluation
which is covered by Topic 20.


Topics of interest include :
----------------------------
 
          development process for real-time applications
          guidelines to develop dependable real-time software
          quality management of real-time applications
          classification of real-time application faults
          models allowing real-time concepts to be expressed
          verification of real-time constraints
          synchronous real-time languages
          code speed evaluation
          predictable real-time static or dynamic scheduling


Euro-Par conference series :
----------------------------
 
Euro-Par is the annual European conference on parallel computing. It
is dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel
computing.
 
Euro-Par'99 is  organized as a day  of tutorials, two half-day plenary
sessions, and a number of parallel sessions.
