Dear Colleagues and Researchers,

Apologies, if you have received multiple copies of this CFP.

********** CALL FOR PAPER **********

DS-RT 2013, the seventeenth IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulations and Real Time Applications, is running three special sessions this year: - Simulation and Real Time Applications for Road Traffic Management - Recent Advances in WSN's design and Deployment for Real-Time Applications - Agent-based Modelling and Simulation

Those special sessions cover three important areas of the field of distributed simulations and real time applications, and many papers were accepted in previous editions of DS-RT on the same topics. See below for more detailed descriptions of those special sessions.

***** PAPER SUBMISSION AND REVIEW *****

Submitted manuscripts must be in standard IEEE two-column format that is used for IEEE conference proceedings and must not exceed "8 pages" (2-page extension allowed), including figures, tables and references. Standard IEEE templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats can be found at: - http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

A submission may present preliminary results, propose new research direction, provide insightful retrospective, or offer a provocative viewpoint on important wireless and mobile networks topic. Papers will be selected based on their likelihood of generating insightful technical discussions at the special session and influencing future research. Relevant attributes include originality, technical merit, clarity, and technical relevance. Papers must be submitted in PDF format through EDAS ( https://edas.info/N14613 - ("DS-RT 2013")). All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to the authors. Consistent with standard scholarly practice, the authors should not have substantially similar work in review anywhere else. The accepted papers are to be included into IEEE Xplore.

***** IMPORTANT DATES *****

Full paper submission deadline: June 15th, 2013 (23:59 EDT) Paper acceptance notification: July 20th, 2013

***** FOR MORE INFORMATION *****

For questions about the paper submission and review process, please contact the session organisers - find all relevant information on the corresponding web pages below.

***** DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIAL SESSIONS *****

• Special Session on Simulation and Real Time Applications for Road Traffic

Management

This special session focuses on simulation tools and real time applications in relation to road traffic management and prediction for smart cities, from both the decision maker perspective as well as the end user point of view. Loads of data (e.g. real-time traffic information) and new facilities (e.g. communication devices) are available out there and force engineering companies, road authorities, and communications experts to redesign their solutions. We aim at bringing together industrial experts and researchers from academia to present their results and discuss the challenges related to real time traffic management and simulation for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).

• Special Session on Recent Advances in WSN's design and Deployment for

Real-Time Applications

Over the last decade,researchers and engineersfrom industry and academia were focusing their efforts mainly on energy saving strategies to maximize the Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) lifetime. However, new emerging applications, which consider critical and multimedia flows, are gaining more and more popularity in various activity domains. Those WSN-based applications have strict requirementsin terms of security, fault tolerance, and Quality of Service (QoS). The various types of constraints to consider make the design, implementation, and validation of such applications very challenging. QoS and real-time support in WSNs face severe challenges due to the wireless nature of the channel, limited resources, low node reliability, distributed architecture and dynamic network topology in some applications. This special session seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers from various research communities, as well as practitioners who face the challenges of QoS and Real-time support in WSNs applications. They are all welcome to present their latest research findings, ideas, simulation tools and applications, and discussthe key unresolved challengesin the topics of this special session.

• Special Session on Agent-based ModelLing and Simulation

This special session focuses on general aspects and special properties for agent-based modeLling and simulations that allows them to be applied on several scientific domains, such as sociology, physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, and economy. The session is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners, so they can present the current status of their work and discuss the challenges they face in developing solutions and applications for agent-based simulations. Consequently, the design of these simulations aims not only to social contexts but also to more technical domains, which involves highly complex interactive systems.
