CfP: IEEE/ACM DS-RT 2022 - Deadline June 6, 2022

Call for Papers

IEEE/ACM 26th International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications (DS-RT) 

September 26 - 28, 2022 | Alès, France  |  http://ds-rt.com/2022/index.html

Paper submission deadline extended to June 6, 2022

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:

• 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 (e.g. Interactive Virtual Reality, Human Communication through Immersive Environments)
• Collaborative Virtual and Augmented Reality, Shared Interaction Spaces, Telepresence Systems and Shared Workspaces, 3D Video and Acoustic Reconstruction, Shared Object Manipulation
• Design Issues, Interaction Designs, Human Computer Interaction Issues raised by Large Scale DS-RT Systems
• Serious Gaming and Massive Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) applications, architectures and scalability issues
• Technologies for Living Labs (e.g. Mirror World Simulation, Interoperability, Large Scale Multi-Sensor Networks, Global Wireless Communication, Multi-Stakeholder Understanding and Innovation)
• Innovative Styles of Interactions with Large Scale DS-RT Systems (e.g. Implicit, Situative and Attentive Interaction, Tangible Interaction, Embedded Interaction, etc.)
• Media Convergence (e.g. New Technologies, Media Theory, Real-Time considerations of Multi-Modality, etc.)
• Verification and Validation of Simulation Models
• Simulation in healthcare, Medical Simulations

Paper Submission and Publication

Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference.

At least one author of accepted papers must attend the conference to present its contribution.

Papers should be written in English and should not exceed 10 pages, double column, IEEE style including tables and figures. Note that the regular paper size will be 8 pages, with the possibility to obtain up to 2 additional pages (total 10 pages) by paying a publication fee. A template for IEEE Proceedings style (LaTeX2e and MS Word) can be found here. Only Postscript and PDF formats are accepted.

Papers must be submitted electronically through the EDAS system. The complete list of authors' names must be inserted when registering the paper on the EDAS system. Authors names can be inserted in the paper: that is, the review process is single blind. Authors should check if they already have a login on the EDAS system; otherwise, an account must be created before submitting a paper. If you are not already registered to EDAS please follow the instructions on the EDAS registration page , where you can login, or you can create a new EDAS user account.

Paper submission deadline: June 6, 2022

IMPORTANT: Conference attendance by at least one author of accepted papers is mandatory.
Each submission must be accompanied by the following information:

• a paper title
• a short abstract
• a complete list of authors and their affiliations
• a contact person for correspondence
• a set of 1 up to 4 topics selected from the conference topics list
• postal and e-mail addresses.

Questions from authors may be directed to the General Chairs or the PC Co-Chairs.
