The IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) and its technical committee, Computer Applications in Nuclear and Plasma Sciences (CANPS) are pleased to announce the 23rd Real Time Conference (RT2022). This is an interdisciplinary conference focusing on the latest developments in real time computing, data acquisition, transport and processing techniques in related fields including: nuclear and particle physics, nuclear fusion and plasma science, medical physics and imaging, astrophysics and space instrumentation as well as accelerators and control systems.

Due to the lingering complications of international travel with the ongoing pandemic, the upcoming RT2022 conference will be held in a fully virtual format. The committee is hopeful that this will help facilitate participation for both regular and potential new attendees. The conference dates will be August 1-5, 2022 with a pre-conference program scheduled for Sunday July 31.

As in previous editions, RT2022 will hold primarily plenary sessions. In addition, recorded mini-orals will be offered for all of the accepted poster submissions. All papers submitted at the conference will have the option for peer review, and if accepted, will be published in a special edition of the IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science journal.

Select conference topics include:

Data Acquisition - Trigger Systems - AI and Machine Learning - Fast Data Links & Networks - Real Time Simulation and Processing Farms - Control, Monitoring, Test and Diagnostics - Fast Electronics, Digitizers and ASICs - Intelligent Signal Processing - Emerging Technologies and New Standards - Upgrades and Feedback on Experiences

Submission of abstracts for both oral and poster presentations is now open. We welcome correspondence to inquire how your research might fit within our program. Details including key dates and submission guidelines can be found on the conference website - https://indico.cern.ch/e/rt2022 

On behalf of CANPS and the RT2022 Organizing Committee we look forward to your participation at this event.
