CALL FOR PAPERS
D S - R T 2001
Fifth IEEE International Workshop on
Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications
URL: 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
Papers should be written in English and should not exceed 20 pages. Papers must
be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors
are encouraged to submit papers in electronic form, postscript or Microsoft
Word 6.0 (or higher) only. The procedure for submission will be provided on
the conference webpage listed above by February 1, 2001. Questions from
authors may be directed to Stephen Turner (ASSJTurner@ntu.edu.sg), or Philip
Wilsey (philip.wilsey@uc.edu). Hardcopy papers also may be submitted, in which
case four copies are required. Each submission, electronic or paper, must be
accompanied by the following information: a short abstract, a complete list of
authors and their affiliations, a contact person for correspondence, postal
and e-mail addresses.
