*** The Symposium ***<br>
<br>
The 2017 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation<br>
and Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2017) promises to be a grand affair<br>
and will take place in Rome, Italy. DS-RT 2017 serves as a platform for<br>
simulationists from academia, industry and research labs for<br>
presenting recent research results in Distributed Simulation and Real<br>
Time Applications.<br>
<br>
DS-RT 2017 targets the growing overlap between large distributed<br>
simulations and real time applications, such as collaborative virtual<br>
environments, pervasive and ubiquitous application scenarios, motor-,<br>
controller-, sensor- and actuator systems.<br>
<br>
The conference features prominent invited speakers as well as papers<br>
by top researchers in the field. DS-RT 2017 will include contributed<br>
technical papers, invited papers, and panel discussions. The<br>
proceedings will be published by IEEE-CS press.<br>
<br>
<br>
*** Call for Papers ***<br>
<br>
DS-RT provides an international forum for the discussion and<br>
presentation of original ideas, recent results and achievements by<br>
researchers, research students, and systems developers on issues and<br>
challenges related to distributed simulation and real time<br>
applications. Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and<br>
practical results of significance. Demonstration of new<br>
tools/applications is very encouraged.<br>
