Dear colleagues,

We have the pleasure to announce the forthcoming 15 th Real Time Conference (IEEE-NPSS Technical Committee on Computer Applications in Nuclear and Plasma Sciences), to be held at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, IL, USA from April 29 th – May 4 th, 2007.

Like the previous editions, the conference will be a multidisciplinary conference devoted to the latest developments on real time techniques in the fields of plasma physics, nuclear physics, particle physics, astrophysics, space science, accelerators, and in medicine and biology.

The conference philosophy is to have only plenary sessions. Mini-orals for posters were introduced in Stockholm in 2005 and were very well received. We will continue this in 2007. All this taken together lays the ground for an extremely stimulating environment and ample opportunity for discussions and fruitful exchange.

Below is the list of conference topics:

- Real Time System Architectures
- Front-end Signal Processing
- High Speed Synchronous Control
- Trigger and Data Acquisition
- Event Building and Fast Networks
- Online Processing Farms and High Level Triggers
- Online Databases
- Controls and Monitoring Systems
- Medical Systems and Data Processing
- Emerging Real Time Technologies
- Tutorials and Workshops

Please, find more information at the conference Web site

Submission of abstracts for oral presentations and posters is now open in the website. The submission deadline is January 26 th, 2007. The submissions should consist of an abstract of about 100 words.

On behalf of the organizing committee,
