** The Symposium **

The 2022 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and 
Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2022) promises to be a grand affair and 
will take place in Alès, France. DS-RT 2022 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 2022 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 2022 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)
