Recent technological trends such as the internet-of-things, autonomous vehicles, and cyber-physical systems are all built upon interconnected embedded systems. Furthermore, these innovations often require formal temporal verification to ensure the safe operationof the system.Thus, there is a compellingneed for newscheduling techniques and associated analysis that can address temporal properties of these networked, realtime embedded systems. The International Conference on Real-Time Networks and Systems (RTNS) provides an appropriate venue for sharing new ideas, experiences and information among academic researchers, developers and service providers in the field of real-time systems and networks. In 2015, the 23rd edition of RTNSwas held in Lille, France with a diverse program representing a selection of 31 papers (from a total of 66 submissions) describing state-of-the-art results in multiple topics on real-time and network systems: e.g., real-time systemdesign and analysis (task andmessage scheduling, modelling, verification, evaluation, model-driven development, worst-case execution time estimation, distributed systems, fault tolerance, quality of service, security), infrastructure and hardware for real-time systems (wired and wireless communication networks, fieldbuses, networked control systems, control/computing co-design, sensor networks, power-aware techniques), software technologies (real-time compilers, programming languages, middleware and component-based technologies, operating systems, databases) and their applications in domains like automotive, avionics, space, railways, telecommunications, process control and multimedia.
