Best Paper

The organizers of the Twelfth International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Real-Time Systems are pleased to announce an award for the best paper submitted to this year's workshop. The award is presented to Jeffery Hansen, Sourav Ghosh, Ragunathan Rajkumar and John Lehoczky, for the paper titled "Resource Management of Highly Configurable Tasks". We gratefully acknowledge support for this award by the Center for Intelligent Distributed and Dependable Systems at The Ohio University.

Overview

The International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Real-Time Systems is a forum for the presentation and discussion of approaches, research findings, and experiences in the domain of large-scale parallel and distributed real-time systems. Of interest are both the research and development of relevant technologies as well as the applications built using such technologies.
