The Symposium
The 2021 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2021) promises to be a grand affair and will take place in Valencia, Spain. DS-RT 2021 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 2021 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 2021 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.
