THE SYMPOSIUM

The 30th International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and Real-Time
Applications (DS-RT 2026) will be held in Padua, Italy. The symposium 
provides an international forum for academics, industry professionals, 
and researchers to present recent results and ongoing work in the fields 
of distributed simulation
and real-time applications.

DS-RT 2026 focuses on the convergence of large-scale distributed 
simulations
and real-time systems, including application domains such as the 
metaverse, collaborative virtual environments, pervasive and ubiquitous 
systems, actuator systems, and the integration of artificial 
intelligence techniques into simulation and real-time applications.

The theme of DS-RT 2026 is: Building Smarter Worlds through Simulation 
and AI.

The conference will feature invited talks by leading researchers, 
technical paper sessions,
and tutorials. Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
