>    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
>   the 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   Only original, unpublished work will be considered; manuscripts resembling 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.
