*** The Symposium *** 

The 2017 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation 
and Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2017) promises to be a grand affair 
and will take place in Rome, Italy. DS-RT 2017 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 2017 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. 

The conference features prominent invited speakers as well as papers 
by top researchers in the field. DS-RT 2017 will include contributed 
technical papers, invited papers, and panel discussions. The 
proceedings will be published by IEEE-CS press. 

*** Call for Papers *** 

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. Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and 
practical results of significance. Demonstration of new 
tools/applications is very encouraged. 

The scope of the symposium includes, but is not limited to: 

- Paradigms, Methodology and Software Architectures for Large Scale 
Distributed and Real-Time Simulations (e.g. Parallel and Distributed 
Simulation, Multi-Agent Based Distributed Simulation, HLA/RTI, Web, 
Grid and cloud based Simulation, hardware-software co-design for 
extreme scale simulations) 

- Paradigms, Modelling, Architecture and Environments for Large Scale 
Real-time Systems and Concurrent Systems with hard and soft Real-Time 
Contstraints 

- Advanced modelling techniques (reuse of models, new modelling 
languages, agent-based M&S, and spatial M&S) 

- Non-functional Properties of Distributed Simulation and Real-Time 
Systems (e.g. Dependability, Availability, Reliability, 
Maintainability, Safety, Security, Trustworthiness, QoS) 

- Theoretical Foundations of Large Scale Real-Time and Simulation

Time, Discrete and Continuous Systems, Simulator Coordination) 

- Simulation Studies at Large and Very Large Scale (e.g. Industrial, 
Commercial, Ecological and Environmental, Societal, Power and Energy, 
Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing Systems) 

- Performance and Validation of Large Scale and Distributed 
Simulations (e.g., benchmarking and analytical results, empirical 
studies DIS, HLA/RTI studies) 

- Algorithms and methods for parallel or distributed simulation 
(synchronization, scheduling, memory management, and load balancing) 

- Languages and Tools, Development Environments, Data Interfaces, 
Network Protocols and Model Repositories that address Very Large 
Simulations
