CALL FOR PAPERS
D S - R T 2001
Fifth IEEE International Workshop on
Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications
URL: http://www.cs.unt.edu/~boukerch/DS-RT2001
Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
August 13-15, 2001
Co-located with MASCOTS 2001 -- International Symposium on Modeling,
Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems
August 15-18, 2001
===========================================================================
SCOPE
In its fifth year, the 2001 International Workshop on Distributed Simulation
and Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2001) will take place at the Kingsgate
Marriott Conference Center, Cincinnati, OH, just before the International
Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecom-
munication Systems (MASCOTS 2001) to be held in Cincinnati, OH on August
15-18, 2001. This is an excellent opportunity to participate in two
conferences covering a wide range of simulation research.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
DS-RT 2001 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 2001 targets the growing overlap between
large distributed simulations and real time applications. The conference
features prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in
the field. DS-RT 2001 will include contributed technical papers, invited
papers, and panel discussions. The proceedings will be published by IEEE-CS
press.
WORKSHOP CALL-FOR-PAPERS
Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of
significance. Demonstration of new tools/applications is very desirable.
The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to:
* Algorithms and Studies relating to existing protocols
(e.g.: HLA, DIS);
* Implementation issues; (e.g., general purpose distributed simulation);
* Algorithms and Methods for Distributed Interactive Simulation;
(e.g.: event synchronization, network time protocols).
* Applications of Distributed Simulation (e.g., Real Time DS, large
distributed simulation systems);
* Distributed models and simulation for Analysis
* Data Distribution Management and Interest Management
* Multi-resolution modeling
* Current Critical Design Issues (e.g.: causality, simultaneous events,
zero look-ahead, compensation for slower than real time);
* Methodology for Distributed Simulation;
* Interface Definition, Communication, Management, Security;
* Performance of Distributed Simulation;
(e.g., benchmark, theoretical, empirical, and HLA/RTI studies);
* Dead-Reckoning Mechanisms;
* Interactive Virtual Reality, Multi-User Virtual Reality, Interactive
Simulation in Entertainment;
* Visual Interactive Simulation (e.g., generic animation, visual
interactive
modeling, interactive computer based learning);
* Animating Language Tools, Visualization Tools for Computational Process
under Simulation;
* Language and Modeling Issues
* Modeling and Simulation Environment for Real Time Concurrent Systems;
* Influence of Network-Centric Systems (such as Java, and DCOM) on DIS;
* Network support for distributed simulation and real-time systems
(QoS requirements and their realization, multicast for
distributed/real-time
simulation systems);
* Applications of Web-Based Simulation (e.g. Modeling Global Internet)
* Integration of DIS and HLA with Web Technologies
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
