Real-Time 2011 Call for Papers & Presentations Now Open
MONTREAL, Jan. 19, 2011 - The Organizing Committee of Real-Time 2011 today announced the conference's Call for Papers & Presentations is now open. Abstracts are now being accepted for prospective technical and scientific presentations and tutorials.
Hosted by Opal-RT Technologies, and taking place in Shanghai from June 20-22, 2011, Real-Time 2011 (www.RealTime2011.com) is positioned to be a must attend event for engineers, engineering management, professors, researchers and students involved in the design, testing, and simulation of electric drives, electrical and mechanical systems, and fast-switching power electronics found in a wide range of applications in the aerospace, automotive, industrial automation, power generation, and transportation industries.
Real-Time 2011 will provide an exceptional venue for discussing issues and developments, as well as for highlighting key Opal-RT partners and distributors with products and services essential to the multifaceted fields of Model-based Design, Real-Time Simulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) & Power HIL testing.
Papers, presentations and tutorials will focus on real-world applications of Real-Time Simulation, Hardware-in-the-Loop and Rapid Control Prototyping technologies. Below is a preliminary list of application areas and topics of prospective Paper, panel and poster sessions. Presenters are also encouraged to submit synopses on unique applications not covered by this list.

o Training simulators
Based on the success of Real-Time 2010, held in Paris, this year's event will include a series of Technology Tutorials designed to educate attendees on what is new in the state-of-the-art of Real-Time Simulation, how it builds on existing Real-Time Simulation environments and how it will address existing challenges or improve the quality and efficient use of Opal-RT Simulators.
In addition to Technology Tutorials led by members of Opal-RT's R&D Engineers, experienced users of Opal-RT products are invited to suggest Tutorial topics and get involved in educating their fellow engineers and researchers.
To submit an abstract, please visit realtime2011.com/content/call-presentations, or contact the Real-Time 2011 organizing committee today (realtime@opal-rt.com) to discuss how to submit a Tutorial subject for consideration as part of the Real-Time 2011 Conference Program.
