*** The Symposium *** 

The 2017 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and Real 
Time Applications (DS-RT 
2017) promises to be a grand affair and will take place in London, UK. DS-RT 
2017 serves as a platform for simulationists from academia, industry and 
research labs for presenting recent research results in Distributed Simulation 
and Real Time Applications. 

DS-RT 2017 targets the growing overlap between large distributed simulations 
and real-time applications, such as collaborative virtual environments, 
pervasive and ubiquitous application scenarios, motor-, controller-, sensor- 
and actuator systems. 

The conference features prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top 
researchers in the field. DS-RT 2017 will include contributed technical papers, 
invited papers, and panel discussions. The proceedings will be published by 
IEEE-CS press. 


*** Call for Papers *** 

DS-RT provides an international forum for the discussion and presentation of 
original ideas, recent results and achievements by researchers, research 
students, and systems developers on issues and challenges related to 
distributed simulation and real-time applications. Authors are encouraged to 
submit both theoretical and practical results of significance. Demonstration of 
new tools/applications is very encouraged. 

The scope of the symposium includes, but is not limited to: 

- Paradigms, Methodology and Software Architectures for Large Scale Distributed 
and Real-Time Simulations (e.g. Parallel and Distributed Simulation, 
Multi-Agent Based Distributed Simulation, HLA/RTI, Web, Grid and cloud-based 
Simulation, hardware-software co-design for extreme-scale simulations) 

- Paradigms, Modelling, Architecture and Environments for Large Scale Real-time 
Systems and Concurrent Systems with hard and soft Real-Time Constraints 

- Advanced modelling techniques (reuse of models, new modelling languages, 
agent-based M&S, and spatial M&S) 

- Non-functional Properties of Distributed Simulation and Real-Time Systems 
(e.g. Dependability, Availability, Reliability, Maintainability, Safety, 
Security, Trustworthiness, QoS) 

- Theoretical Foundations of Large-Scale Real-Time and Simulation Models (e.g. 
Event Systems, Causality, Space-Time Models, Notions of Time, Discrete and 
Continuous Systems, Simulator Coordination) 

- Simulation Studies at Large and Very Large Scale (e.g. Industrial, 
Commercial, Ecological and Environmental, Societal, Power and Energy, Pervasive 
and Ubiquitous Computing Systems) 

- Performance and Validation of Large-Scale and Distributed Simulations (e.g., 
benchmarking and analytical results, empirical studies DIS, HLA/RTI studies) 

- Algorithms and methods for parallel or distributed simulation 
(synchronization, scheduling, memory management, and load balancing) 

- Languages and Tools, Development Environments, Data Interfaces, Network 
Protocols and Model Repositories that address Very Large 
Simulations 

- Data Management and Distribution Issues, Interest Management, Semantic 
Modelling, Multi-resolution Modelling, Dead-Reckoning Mechanisms 

- Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing Architectures and Applications that 
involve Simulations and/or adhere to Real-Time Constraints

Interactive Modelling, Interactive Computer Based Training and Learning, 
Scientific Visualization, High-End Computer Graphics) 

- Design Issues, Interaction Designs, Human Commuter Interaction Issues raised 
by Large Scale DS-RT Systems 

- Media Convergence (e.g. New Technologies, Media Theory, Real-Time 
considerations of Multi-Modality, etc.) 

- Innovative Styles of Interactions with Large Scale DS-RT Systems (e.g. 
Implicit, Situative and Attentive Interaction, Tangible Interaction, Embedded 
Interaction, etc.) 

- Technologies for Living Labs (e.g. Mirror World Simulation, Interoperability,
