Call for Papers - DS-RT 2012

16th IEEE/ACM* International Symposium on
Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications
http://ds-rt.com/2012/
October 25-27, 2012
Dublin, Ireland


* IEEE/ACM pending approval


*** The Symposium ***

In its sixteenth year, the 2012 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on
Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2012) will
take place in Dublin, Ireland.


DS-RT 2012 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 2012 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 2012 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,
Pervasive 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 Repositiories 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 Comuter 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.)
