                                   SCOPE
In its sixth year, the 2002 International Workshop on Distributed Simulation
and Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2002)  will take place at the Radisson
Plaza Hotel, Fort Worth Texas, just before the International Symposium on
Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems
(MASCOTS 2002) to be held in Fort Worth, TX on October 12-16.
This is an excellent opportunity to participate in two conferences covering
a wide range of simulation research.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

                            WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
DS-RT 2002 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 2002 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 2002 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;
   * Distributed Collaborative Environments;
   * 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;
   * Interoperable Communication Networks;
   * 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;
   * Parallel and Distributed Simulation.
