The ERTS² congress is a unique European cross sector event on Embedded Software and Systems, a platform for top-level scientists with representatives from universities, research centers and industries.

The previous editions gathered more than 100 talks, 500 participants and 60 exhibitors.

ERTS² is both:
• a conference with high level scientific and technical presentations,
• an exhibition forum covering a wide range of innovative products and services, for improving direct relationship between providers and users,
• a unique community spirit: knowledge sharing, unforgettable moments and networking opportunities.

The late Jean-Claude Laprie was ERTS² Programme Committee chairman from 2002 to 2010 and brought ERTS² to its actual international reputation. We intend to carry on his work and the ERTS² spirit. Joseph Sifakis accepted to take over as Programme Committee chairman of the congress.

The sixth edition targets all the domains where embedded systems are crucial, especially, but not limited to, transportation (aeronautics, automotive, railway, subway, marine), satellite and space exploration, energy, telecommunications and wireless connectivity, e-healthcare, home automation, defence, industrial control.
