Call for Papers & Workshops

TSN/A Conference l 29 - 30 September 2021 
Deadline Call for Papers: 30 April 2021

Conference on Time Sensitive Networks / Technology and Applications (TSN/A) For Cyber Physical Systems, Industrial Internet of Things, Real-Time Audio & Video, and Intelligent Transportation Systems

The TSN/A Conference will take place on 29 - 30 September 2021! Depending on the Covid-19 situation, either in-person – as currently planned – or as a virtual conference.

The TSN/A Conference is jointly organized by Avnu Alliance in Cooperation with the German trade publications Computer&AUTOMATION and Elektronik automotive.

We are pleased to issue a call for papers for the sixth annual technical conference focused on Time-Sensitive Networks and Applications to be held at the new Mövenpick Hotel at the Stuttgart Airport in Germany on 29 - 30 September 2021. This event is designed to provide attendees with an insight to current and emerging use cases, standards, experiments, best practices, and technologies related to real-time and distributed applications and networks where systems interact with the physical world in a way that is time and/or mission critical. Application areas include but not limited to Cyber Physical Systems, Industrial Internet of Things, Real-Time Audio & Video, Aerospace, and Intelligent Transportation Systems.

Please submit an abstract by 30 April 2021 after reviewing the Speaker Guidelines and Milestones below.

Speaker Guidelines

All speakers should keep in mind that they will be presenting to experts across a broad spectrum of industries and therefore the presentations must provide a sufficiently succinct background of the topic before presenting the main idea. Product-focused "sales pitches" will not be allowed.
By submitting an abstract, you agree that you are committed to presenting at the technical conference if your abstract is selected by the committee.

If travel is involved, then speakers are responsible for their travel arrangements and expenses. All selected speakers must abide by the milestones listed in order to participate.

The language of the conference is English.

Possible Topics

Note: In addition to the base technologies, submissions are encouraged that describe use cases and/or deployments.

• TSN experiments and best practices
• Emerging standards for wireline and wireless Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)
• TSN - advances in the silicon-market
• Influence of TSN on transforming Industrial Automation
• Use of TSN in Industrial Automation
