Special Track on Worst Case Traversal Time (WCTT)

Real-time systems are increasingly becoming communication intensive, where different functions are implemented using distributed real-time tasks mapped onto different physical systems (sensors, processors, and actuators). To ensure global correctness, one has to ensure the correctness of each task, schedulability of the tasks on each system, and finally also bound the communication time, i.e., the worst case (network) traversal time (WCTT).
