19th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and
        Real Time Applications
                  http://ds-rt.com
                  October 14 - 16, 2015
                  Chengdu, China

IMPORTANT: Submission deadline: May 29th, 2015

*** The Symposium ***

In its nineteenth year, the 2015 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on
Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2015) will
take place in Chengdu, China. DS-RT 2015 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 2015 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 2015 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, 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:
