Goals

The goals of the RTS Group Meetings are (in no particular order) to

  • ensure that all group members are aware of each others research
  • encourage collaborative research within the group
  • inform members of the group of important real-time developments or hot topics
  • discuss ways in which the group can be made more efficient
  • give group members practice at making presentations

Format

The default format for group meetings is a one hour meeting (usually Friday at 11:15) where one or more members of the group are charged with organising how that meeting is run. Examples of typical meetings include (but are not limited to) the following :

  • a practice run of a conference presentation with feed back on how it can be improved
  • the presentation of a current research problem leading to a group discussion of its potential solution
  • a tutorial on an important or hot topic
  • a debate on alternative views on a particular topic (e.g. time driven versus event driven systems)
  • a tutorial on a useful software tool (e.g. how to get the best out of the http://citeseer.nj.nec.com)
  • a discussion of improving group working (e.g. reorganising the partitions, how to keep down noise)
  • brainstorming on a particular topic (e.g. future real-time research)

There is no requirement for the meeting to last one hour, and if necessary it can be extended to a half day!
