For The New Millenium !!! 4th IEEE D S - R T ' 2000 Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications URL: www.cs.unt.edu/~boukerch San Fransisco, California, USA August 25-27, 2000 Co-located with MASCOTS'2000 --International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems) Canterbury Hotel, San Fransisco, CA August 29, September 1, 2000 ============================================================================ SCOPE SCOPE In its fourth year, the 2000 International Workshop on Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications (DS-RT'2000), will take place at the Canterbury Hotel, San Fransisco, CA, just before the International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (MASCOTS'2000) to be held in San Fransisco, CA on Augst 29- September 1, 2000. This is an excellent opportunity to participate in two conferences covering a wide range of simulation research. WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES DS-RT'2000 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'2000 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'2000 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 are very desirable. The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to: o Implementation issues; (e.g., general purpose distributed simulation); o Algorithms and Methods for Distributed Interactive Simulation; (e.g.: event synchronization, network time protocols. o Applications of Distributed Simulation (e.g., real time DS, non-real time DS,large distributed simulation systems); o Distribution Management o Multi-resolution modeling; o Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications. o Current Critical Design Issues (e.g.: causality, simultaneous events, zero look-ahead, compensation for slower than real time); o Algorithms and Studies relating to existing protocols (e.g.: HLA, DIS and ALSP); o Methodology for Distributed Simulation; o Interface Definition, Communication, Management, Security; o Performance of Distributed Simulation; (e.g., benchmark, theoretical studies, and empirical studies); o Dead-Reckoning Mechanisms; o Interactive Virtual Reality, Multi-User Virtual Reality, Interactive o Simulation in Entertainment; o Visual Interactive Simulation (e.g., generic animation, visual interactive modeling, interactive computer based learning); o Animating Language Tools, Visualization Tools for Computational Process under Simulation; o Language and Modeling Issues o Modeling and Simulation Environment for Real Time Concurrent Systems; o Influence of Network-Centric Systems (such as Java, and DCOM) on DIS; o Network support for distributed simulation and real-time systems (QoS requirements and their realization, multicast for distributed/real-time simulation systems); o Applications of Web-Based Simulation (Modeling Global Internet, etc.) 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 to either program co-chair: Paul Reynolds (reynolds@virginia.edu), or Mark Pullen (mpullen@gmu.edu), postscript or Microsoft Word 6.0 (or higher) only. Hardcopy papers can also 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.
