>   Computer simulation is recognized as a critical technology playing 
>   a major role in many areas of great interest, such as improving the 
>   efficiency of computer and communication networks, or reducing 
>   simulation execution time for large VLSI circuit designs, to mention 
>   a few. The advent of massively parallel computers and distributed 
>   computing networks over the past few years has had a major impact 
>   in the simulation arena. Many research groups from academia,industry, 
>   and research labs have studied parallel simulation techniques for 
>   speeding up sequential simulations, while exploiting the features 
>   of the parallel architectures.

>   This special issue is targeted to include a set of original articles
>   that represent the state-of-the-art in demonstrating that parallel 
>   simulation techniques are successfull in speeding up the execution of 
>   selected simulation models.  Results of both theoretical and practical 
>   significance will be considered.  Topics of interest include, but not 
>   limited to:  
> 
>      * Algorithms and methods for parallel simulation;
>      * Models for parallel simulation;
>      * Application-specific parallel simulation; 
>      * Languages for parallel simulation;  
>      * Methodologies for parallel simulation; 
>      * Performance evaluation and benchmarking;
>      * Parallel simulation of data parallel programs.

>   Authors should follow the IJCS manuscript format as described in the
>   ``Information for Authors'' at the end of each issue of IJCS.  Five
>   copies of complete double-spaced manuscripts should be sent to 
>   the guest editor by March 15th, 1996. 
>   All papers should include a title page containing  title, author(s)
>   names and affiliations, regular postal addresses, e-mail addresses,
>   and telephone/phone numbers.  Authors will be notified of the final 
>   publication decision by August 1996. 
> 
>   Only original, unpublished work will be considered; manuscripts resembling 
>   any previously published work in a journal are unacceptable.
