2018 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and
Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2018) promises to be a grand affair and
will take place in Madrid, Spain.<br><br>DS-RT 2018 serves as a platform
for simulationists from academia, industry and research labs for
presenting recent research results in Distributed Simulation and Real
Time Applications. DS-RT 2018 targets the growing overlap between large
distributed simulations and real-time applications, such as
collaborative virtual environments, pervasive and ubiquitous application
scenarios, motor-, controller-, sensor- and actuator systems.<br><br>The
conference features prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top
researchers in the field. DS-RT 2018 will include contributed technical
papers, invited papers, and panel discussions. The 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 presentation of
original ideas, recent results and achievements by researchers, research
students, and systems developers on issues and challenges related to
distributed simulation and real-time applications. <br><br>Authors are
