24th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications

DS-RT 2020


Mathematical Analysis



*** The Symposium ***
The 2020 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2020) promises to be a grand affair and will take place in Prague, Czech Republic. DS-RT 2020 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 2020 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 2020 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.
