 Scope
 
 In its tenth anniversary year, the 2006 IEEE/ACM International Symposium
 on Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2006) will 
 take place in Torremolinos, Malaga, Spain, in conjunction with the the 9th
 ACM Int'l Symposium International Symposium on Modeling,
 Analysis, Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems.

 Symposium Objectives
 
 DS-RT 2006 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 2006 targets the growing
 overlap between large distributed simulations and real time

 applications,

 such as collaborative virtual environments.  The conference features
 prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the
 field. DS-RT 2006 will include contributed technical papers, invited
 papers, and panel discussions. The proceedings will be published by
 IEEE-CS press.

 Call for Papers
 
 DS-RT is intended to provide an international forum for the discussion
 and presentation of original ideas, recent results and achievements by
 researchers, 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 desirable.

 The scope of the symposium includes, but is not limited to:
 
 o- Collaborative Virtual Environments, e.g. interactive Virtual Reality,
    human communication through immersive environments, shared object
    manipulation;
 o- Multi-modal collaborative systems, e.g. collaborative future
    workspaces, psychological issues of collaborative VR;
 o- Interactive Simulation in Entertainment and Games;
 o- Applications of Distributed Simulation, e.g., Real Time, large
    distributed simulation systems;
 o- Agent Based Distributed Simulation, e.g., multi-agent based simulation,
    parallel and distibuted simulation of multi-agent systems;
 o- Real-Time application modeling for QoS evaluation;
 o- Algorithms and Studies relating to existing protocols, e.g., HLA,DIS,
    event synchronization, network time protocols;
 o- Data Distribution Management, Interest Management, Multi-resolution
    modeling and Dead-Reckoning Mechanisms;
 o- Current Critical Design Issues, e.g.: causality, simultaneous
    events,zero look-ahead, compensation for slower than real time;
 o- Methodology for Distributed and Parallel Simulation;
 o- Approaches to interoperation of COTS simulation modeling packages;
 o- Interface Definition, Communication, Management, Security;
 o- Performance of Distributed Simulation, e.g., benchmark,
    theoretical, empirical, and HLA/RTI studies;
 o- Visual Interactive Simulation, e.g., generic animation, visual
    interactive modeling, interactive computer based learning;
 o- Animating Language Tools, Visualization Tools for Computational
    Processes under Simulation;
 o- Modeling and Simulation Environments for Real Time Concurrent
    Systems;
 o- Influence of Network-Centric Systems, e.g., Java, and DCOM;
 o- Network support for distributed simulation and real-time systems
    e.g., QoS requirements, multicast for distributed/real-time
    simulation;
 o- Applications of Web-Based Simulation, e.g. Modeling Global
    Internet;
 o- Integration of Distributed Simulation and HLA with Web
    Technologies;
 o- Large Scale Distributed Simulation on the Grid.
 o- Software Design Patterns and Real-Time Simulation  Environments
 o- Reproducing the face-to-face meeting through communication
    technology - e.g. immersive CVE, video conferencing, video reconstruction
