17th IEEE/ACM* International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and Real Time 
Applications
                  http://ds-rt.com/2013/
               October 30 - November 1, 2013
                  Delft, Netherlands

* IEEE/ACM pending approval


*** The Symposium ***

In its seventeenth year, the 2013 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on 
Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2013) will take place 
in Delft, Netherlands.
DS-RT 2013 serves as a forum for simulationists from academia, industry and 
research labs, for presenting recent research results in Distributed Simulation 
and Real Time Applications. 
DS-RT 2013 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 2013 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, 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 desirable.

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

o 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)

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

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

o 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)

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

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

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

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

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

o Simulation based Virtual Environments and Mixed Reality Systems 
    (e.g. Interactive Virtual Reality, Human Communication through Immersive 
Environments)

o Collaborative Virtual and Augmented Reality, Shared Interaction Spaces, 
    Telepresence Systems and Shared Workspaces, 3D Video and Acoustic 
Reconstruction, Shared Object Manipulation

o Serious Gaming and Massive Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) applications, 
architectures and scalability issues.

o Visual Interactive Simulation Environments 
   (e.g., Generic Animation, Visual Interactive Modeling, Interactive Computer 
Based Training and
             Learning; Scientific Visualization; High-End Computer Graphics; 

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

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

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

o Technologies for Living Labs 
   (e.g. Mirror World Simulation, Interoperability, Large Scale Multi Sensor 
Networks, 
           Global Wireless Communication, Multi Stakeholder Understanding and 
Innovation)

o Environmental and Emerging Simulation Challenges 
   (e.g. Growth of Human Population, Climate Change, CO2, Health Care, 
Ecosystems, 
            Sustainable Development, Water and Energy Supply, Human Mobility, 
Air Traffic, World Stock Markets, 
             Food Supply Chains, Megacities, Smart Cities, Disaster Planning, 
etc.)

o Advanced Simulation Studies and Technologies (Discrete event, continuous 
Simulation, etc..)
