*** The Symposium ***

The 2019 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and
Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2019) promises to be a grand affair and
will take place in Cosenza, Italy.
DS-RT 2019 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 2019 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 2019 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 enlivened.

The scope of the symposium includes, but is not limited to:
  - Paradigms, Methodology, Algorithms 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
  - 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)
  - Advances in Modelling and Simulation Studies and Technologies (Reuse
of Models, New Modelling Languages, Agent-based M&S, Spatial M&S,
Cognitive Modelling, Neural Network Models, Artificial Intelligence in
Simulation, Discrete Events, Continuous Simulation, Service-oriented
Computing and Simulation, Web-based Modelling and Simulation, Simulation
of Multimedia Applications and Systems, etc.)
  - Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing Architectures and Applications
that involve Simulations and/or adhere to Real-Time Constraints
  - 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
  - Simulation Studies at Large and Very Large Scale (e.g. Industrial,
Commercial, Ecological and Environmental, Societal, Power and Energy)
  - 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,
Traffic Modelling, World Stock Markets, Food Supply Chains, Megacities,
Smart Cities, Smart Networks, Disaster Planning, etc.)
  - Performance and Validation of Large-Scale and Distributed
Simulations (e.g., benchmarking and analytical results, empirical
studies DIS, HLA/RTI studies)
  - Visual Interactive Simulation Environments (e.g., Generic Animation,
Visual Interactive Modelling, Interactive Computer Based Training and
Learning, Scientific Visualization, High-End Computer Graphics)
  - Simulation-based Virtual Environments and Mixed Reality Systems
