This is an excellent opportunity to partake in two conferences covering a wide range of simulation research. WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES: DIS-RT98 serves as a forum for simulationists from academia, industry and research labs, for presenting recent research results in Distributed Interactive Simulation, and Real Time Applications. DIS-RT'98 targets the growing overlap between large distributed interactive simulations and real time applications. The conference features prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the field. DIS-RT'98 will include contributed technical papers, invited papers, and panel discussions. The proceedings will be published by IEEE-CS press. For those attending the DIS-RT'98 Worskhop and/or the MASCOTS'98, a Montreal City-tour and a tour to Quebec City will be planned. This will be an excellent opportunity for researchers to socialize and exchange ideas. 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: * Algorithms and Methods for Distributed Interactive Simulation; (e.g.: event synchronization, network time protocols, data distribution management, and multi-resolution modeling); * Current Critical Design Issues (e.g.: causality, simultaneous events, zero look-ahead, compensation for slower than real time); * Algorithms and Studies relating to existing protocols (e.g.: HLA, DIS and ALSP). * 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, Interactive Simulation in Entertainment * 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, large distributed simulation systems ). * Modeling and Simulation Environment for Real Time Concurrent Systems. * Influence of Network-Centric Systems (such as Java, and DCOM) on DIS. * Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications Submission Guidelines: Papers written in English 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 either program co-chair: Dr. Azzedine Boukerche (azedine@cs.mcgill.ca), or Dr. Paul Reynolds (pfr@cs.virginia.edu), postcript 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. *** ATTENDANCE BY AT LEAST ONE AUTHOR IS MANDATORY. The Workshop Proceedings will be published by IEEE -CS press.
