Subject: CFP 29th Simulation Symposium
Organization: Univ. of Pittsburgh Computer Science
Date: 5 Sep 1995 14:43:48 GMT
Message-ID: <42hnn4$7ih@usenet.srv.cis.pitt.edu>

       The Annual Simulation Symposium is a forum for the exchange of ideas,  
    techniques, and applications among practitioners of simulation in industry,
    government, and  academia. This international Symposium is the oldest 
    continuously operating conference/symposium dedicated to simulation.  
       The paper sessions are designed to promote discussion of concepts, 
    methodology,  and  results between authors and the audience. The structure 
    of the Symposium also provides for a degree of collegiality and continuity 
    in the discussions of the various topics presented during the week.

       In recent years, the Symposium has provided a forum for traditional  
    simulation  topics  in discrete-event, continuous, digital, and analog 
    simulation.  Along with the traditional  subjects,  this year's Symposium 
    is seeking papers in the following topical areas:

		o Simulation of Multiprocessor Architectures        
		o VLSI Circuit Simulators
		o Simulation Languages, Tools, and Environments     
		o Object-Oriented Simulation
		o Simulation of Distributed Systems and Databases   
		o Animations/Virtual Reality
		o Advances in Simulation Methodology and Practices  
		o Network Modeling and Simulation
		o Simulation of Multimedia Applications and Systems 
		o Parallel and Distributed Simulation
		o Artificial Intelligence in Simulation    
		o Neural Network Models and Simulation

         University of Pittsburgh           Camera-Ready Paper        1/8/96
         Pittsburgh, PA 15260

       Papers   can   also    be    submitted    electronically    to
    simsymp29@cs.pitt.edu by October 1st, 1995. Submitted files must be
    either in dvi or PostScript format  with  all  figures  and  tables
    included, as created on Unix systems by:

          cat paper.ps | compress | uuencode paper.ps.Z > paper.uue

    or in most other environments by the `print to file'  command  with
    the PostScript output format option.

       All submissions will be fully refereed for accuracy, technical
    content,  and relevance.  Papers should be between 10 to 20 double-
    spaced pages (5 to 10 single-spaced pages for the camera-ready version).   
    Please  include  full  name,  affiliation,  address, phone number, 
    and email address of each author and designate the author who is to be 
    contacted. Authors will receive the reviewers' comments and will be given 
    a chance to respond to these reviews. Authors' replies will be taken into 
    consideration in the final paper selection  decision.  Accepted  papers  
    will  appear  in  the Symposium's  Proceedings  which  will be published 
    by the IEEE Com- puter Society.

       The Ira M. Kay Memorial Prize of $500 will be awarded  to  the
    best  paper presented at the Symposium.  Authors of top papers will
    also be encouraged to submit a follow-on paper to the International
    Journal in Computer Simulation.

       Only papers  which  have  not  been  previously  published  or
    presented  should  be  submitted.   Authors  must  obtain employer,
    client, or government releases prior  to  submittal  of  the  final
    manuscript.
