___________________________ Call for Papers ____________________________

          1993 Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC 93)

                 Lafayette Hotel, Boston, Massachusetts
                            July 19-21, 1993

_____________________________ The Program ______________________________

Planning is under way to make SCSC `93 the pre-eminent conference on
applying simulation to system and product development and evaluation.
Modeling and simulation will become increasingly important during the
1990s.  In the commercial sector, concepts must be developed into
products in as short a time a possible.  Simulation plays a key role
in this accelerated product development.  In the military sector,
the trend is away from large-scale acquisition and toward prototyping
and simulation for systems evaluation and refinement.  Effective use
of modeling and simulation in developing new systems and concepts will
give organizations a significant competitive edge in the current
decade.
 
SCSC `93 will feature presentations of innovative work,
state-of-the-art technology reviews, panel discussions, tutorials, and
trade exhibits designed to provide comprehensive coverage of this
rapidly evolving field.  Major themes will be emerging and enabling
technologies, simulation methodologies and practices, industrial
applications, validation and verification techniques, and the cost
benefits of rapid prototyping.
 
Emerging and enabling technologies that support advanced simulation
capabilities include:
 * Advanced Processing Techniques
 * Artificial Intelligence
 * Complexity Theory
 * Networking
 * Neural Networks
 * Knowledge Based Simulation
 * Object-Oriented Simulation
 * Sensitivity Analysis
 * Simulation/Real World Interface
 * Visualization
 
Simulation practice is concerned with the efficient and effective use
of simulation.  Topics of interest include:
 
 * Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulations
 * Human-in-the-Loop Simulations
 * Model Interoperability
 * Representation of Human Behavior
 * Risk Reduction and Cost Savings
 * Simulation Methodologies
 * Simulation and Rapid Prototyping
 * Stochastic Techniques
 * Synchronization Techniques
 
The Application of simulation in innovative ways in areas where
simulation is currently used extensively, and the application of
simulation in areas where simulations in NOT currently used, are
topics of interest to SCSC `93.  Potential application areas are:
 
 * Automotive Systems
 * Biomedical Sciences
 * CAD/CAE/CAM/CAT
 * Communications and Radar Systems
 * Computers and Electronics
 * Entertainment
 * Environment
 * Government and Management
 * Health Care
 * Law
 * Manufacturing
 * Marine and Undersea Systems
 * Military Operations
 * Missile and Aerospace Systems
 * Physical/Chemical/Engineering Applications
 * Robotics
 * Strategic and Theater Defense
 * Social Sciences
 * Training
 * Transportation

                       Special Call for Papers on
               Computer Performance & Advanced Processing
________________________________________________________________________
 
 As chairman of the group on Computer Performance & Advanced
 Processing at SCSC 93, I would like to offer a special invitation for
 papers in this area.  Example topics include:
 
  +  Performance models of computer hardware
  +  Performance models of computer software systems
  +  Simulation languages, tools, and techniques for performance
        modeling of computers software and hardware systems
  +  Role of performance modeling in software development and software
        engineering
  +  Advanced information processing techniques applied to simulation,
        such as:
        - neural networks
        - parallel processors
        - object orientation
        - AI, expert systems and knowledge-based systems
 
 Our group sponsored 7 sessions with 28 papers at SCSC 92 and we hope
 to do as well in Boston in 93.
 
 If you would like to discuss possible paper topics or ideas for
 panels in this area, you may contact me
