ECRTS 2026 -  Real-Time Pitches / work-in-progress

Real-Time Pitches include work-in-progress, wild-and-crazy-ideas, call-for-actions, demos and journal-to-conference talks. It is an opportunity to address the real-time community with your interesting work or any other interesting thoughts that you would like to share.

Pitches are 5-minute talks each and must be related to real-time systems as well as the general scope of ECRTS (see ECRTS call for papers). Aside from that, feel free to talk about anything you think might interest the real-time community at ECRTS. Real-Time Pitches especially encourage ideas that break new ground, depart from established subfields, or challenge the status quo. If a pitch is accepted for presentation, one of the authors is expected to give a 5-minute live talk at the conference, and to present a poster and/or demo at the conference reception for further discussions.

Submission Guidelines

To make sure topics are in scope and to schedule the session, we ask you to submit an abstract (at most 2 pages, but preferably much shorter) of your pitch and/or a sketch of your poster. The abstract will not be peer reviewed or published.

Deadline

Submissions are open until all slots are taken or until 24th of June 2026 at the latest. Feedback on the abstracts will be provided within days of submission. Note that early submissions, up to one week before the early registration deadline, will get feedback before the end of the early registration deadline. At least one author of an accepted submission must register for the full conference (a student registration is OK) and present in the session and at the reception.

All questions about submissions should be emailed to  Dr. Mohammad Hamad (mphammad.hamad@tum.de)
