Real-time networks guarantee communications with limited latency and high reliability, which are essential for critical industrial applications (automation, robotics) and emerging applications (remote surgery, autonomous vehicles). The evolution towards standards such as IEEE Time-sensitive Networking (TSN) and IETF Deterministic Networking (DetNet) enables convergence towards end-to-end deterministic architectures, integrating wired and wireless networks (5G/6G, WiFi) and distributed computing (Edge/Cloud). This integration raises major technical challenges in terms of synchronization, resource management, and continuity of time guarantees.
Faced with these challenges, building a dynamic French-speaking community around this theme would make it possible to pool skills, stimulate collaboration, and bridge the gap between the concrete needs of industry and innovative solutions emerging from research.
Call for presentation
We are calling for contributions for presentations on topics related to real-time networks, whether they be feedback, technical demonstrations, academic research, or field reports.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
Protocols and architectures: TSN, AVB, DetNet, WiFi 7, 5G/6G, UWB, etc.
Scheduling and algorithms: Scheduling, routing, and path calculation algorithms for critical traffic.
Accuracy and determinism: Synchronization (PTP, gPTP), clock management, jitter reduction
Virtualization: Use of containers and virtualization in real-time systems
Cloud & Edge: Integration of real-time in distributed environments
Software-defined networks (SDN): Orchestration and management of deterministic networks
Artificial Intelligence: AI for deterministic networks
E2E convergence: End-to-end determinism and interoperability between wireless and wired networks
Reliability: Security, resilience, and fault tolerance in critical networks
Telemetry: Monitoring, testing, and validation tools
Industrial deployments: Automotive, aeronautics, robotics, Industry 4.0, connected health, and smart grids
Sizing and optimization of real-time networks and systems
We ask interested parties to submit a title and abstract for their presentation. The choice of language (French or English) is left to the discretion of the speaker.
Depending on the number of submissions, the committee will consult with the authors to determine the best presentation format.
Registration
Registration is free but mandatory for all participants, including speakers. It allows us to organize the day as efficiently as possible, particularly the complimentary lunch.
