There is a real and growing need for high performance, fault adaptive, large-scale real-time systems. This workshop seeks to foster interaction, communication, and cross-fertilization between representatives of the many diverse fields researching these systems with representatives from the various application domains that require them.

This is the first in a series of such workshops. The format of the workshop is designed to foster discussion and intereaction. Each of the five 2-1/2 hour sessions will concentrate on one topic. Presentations will be made by 4 speakers expert in that topic. After the presentations, there will be a 30 minute discussion led by the speakers for that session. In addition to these sessions, there will be a poster session.
