> Computer Simulation has been a major tool for modeling, analysis, prediction
> and training of complex systems in science and engineering. The increasing 
> computational complexity of simulating  physical systems has led researchers 
> to conduct simulation studies on such platforms as multicomputer network 
> architectures. As a result of this, the Distributed Interactive Simulation 
> (DIS), in which the distributed environment could be both in terms of memory 
> and geographical locations, seems to be a promising solution.
> 
> Distributed Interactive Simulation provides an infrastructure to build
> large scale-simulations for the simulation of highly interactive activities 
> by interconnecting several types of simulators via a network. This new 
> technology has brought a new set of issues and challenging problems to solve.
>
> The new tools of DIS are able to support substantially the solution of
> highly complex problems of mathematical modelling in physics, technics,
> and biology, just to mention a few. This is an important direction of DIS 
> technology applications.
>
> This First International Workshop on Distributed Interactive Simulation  and
> Real Time Applications is meant to provide a forum, to all research groups 
> from  academia, industry and research labs, for presenting recent results in 
> Distributed Interactive Simulation, and Real Time Applications. 
> 
> Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of 
> significance. Demonstration of new tools are very desirable.

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

> 
>   * Algorithms and methods for distributed interactive simulation;
>     (e.g.,  event synchronization, DIS synchronization, network
>      time protocols, aggregate level simulation protocols)
> 
>   * Methodology for distributed interactive simulation;
> 
>   * Implementation issues; (e.g, general purpose distributed interactive
>     simulation)
> 
>   * Interface definition, communication, management, security;
> 
>   * Performance of distributed interactive simulation; (e.g., benchmark,
>     theoretical studies, and empirical studies);
> 
>   * Dead-Rockoning Mechanisms;
> 
>   * Interactive Virtual Reality, Multi-User Virtual Reality;
> 
>   * Visual Interactive Simulation (e.g., generic animation, visual 
>     interactive modeling, interactive computer based learning)
> 
>   * Animating Language Tools, Visualisation tools for computational  
>     process under Simulation
> 
>   * Applications of distributed interactive simulation (e.g., real time
>     DIS, non-real time DIS).
> 
>   * Modeling and Simulation Environment for Real Time Concurrent Systems.

> 
> Submission Guideliness: Papers written in English and should not exceed 5000
> words (approximately 15 pages). Papers must be unpublished and must not be 
> submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors are encouraged to submit papers 
> in electronic form to Dr. Azzedine Boukerche at azedine@cs.mcgill.ca

> Program Co-Chairs, in which case 3 copies are required. Each submission 
> must be accompagnied 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.
> 
> ATTENDANCE BY AT LEAST ONE AUTHOR IS MANDATORY.
