Symposium Objectives DS-RT 2007 serves as a forum for simulationists from academia, industry and research labs, for presenting recent research results in Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications. DS-RT 2007 targets the growing overlap between large distributed simulations and real time applications, such as collaborative virtual environments. The conference features prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the field. DS-RT 2007 will include contributed technical papers, invited papers, and panel discussions. The proceedings will be published by IEEE-CS press. Call for Papers DS-RT is intended to provide 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: o- Collaborative Virtual Environments, e.g. shared Virtual Reality, augmented group presence, networked and pervasive games, tele-immersion, and collaborative mixed reality o- Multi-modal collaborative systems, e.g. collaborative future workspaces, psychological issues of collaborative VR; o- Interactive Simulation in Entertainment and Games; o- Applications of Distributed Simulation, e.g., Real Time, large distributed simulation systems; o- Agent Based Distributed Simulation, e.g., multi-agent based simulation, parallel and distibuted simulation of multi-agent systems; o- Real-Time application modeling for QoS evaluation; o- Algorithms and Studies relating to existing protocols, e.g., HLA,DIS, event synchronization, network time protocols; o- Data Distribution Management, Interest Management, Multi-resolution modeling and Dead-Reckoning Mechanisms; o- Current Critical Design Issues, e.g.: causality, simultaneous events,zero look-ahead, compensation for slower than real time; o- Methodology for Distributed and Parallel Simulation; o- Approaches to interoperation of COTS simulation modeling packages; o- Interface Definition, Communication, Management, Security; o- Performance of Distributed Simulation, e.g., benchmark, theoretical, empirical, and HLA/RTI studies; o- Visual Interactive Simulation, e.g., generic animation, visual interactive modeling, interactive computer based learning; o- Animating Language Tools, Visualization Tools for Computational Processes under Simulation; o- Modeling and Simulation Environments for Real Time Concurrent Systems; o- Influence of Network-Centric Systems, e.g., Java, and DCOM; o- Network support for distributed simulation and real-time systems e.g., QoS requirements, multicast for distributed/real-time simulation; o- Applications of Web-Based Simulation, e.g. Modeling Global Internet; o- Integration of Distributed Simulation and HLA with Web Technologies; o- Large Scale Distributed Simulation on the Grid. o- Software Design Patterns and Real-Time Simulation Environments o- Reproducing the face-to-face meeting through communication technology - e.g. immersive CVE, video conferencing, video reconstruction o- Symbiotic simulation and DDDAS Important dates Paper Submission Deadline: May 10th Notification of Acceptance: June 30th Poster/Demo Submission papers: June 15th Camera Ready version due: TBA Symposium presentation: October 22-26, 2007 in Crete Island IMPORTANT: ATTENDANCE BY AT LEAST ONE AUTHOR IS MANDATORY Submission Guidelines Papers should be written in English and should not exceed 10 pages (single-spaced) or 18 pages (double-spaced).
