     "Simulation & Gaming: An International Journal of Theory, Design,
and Research" (S&G) publishes articles on simulation, computerized
simulation, modeling, gaming, modeling, play, role-play, active and
interactive learning, structured exercises and experiential learning.
For 23 years, S&G has served as the leading international forum for the
study and discussion of these methodologies as used in education,
training and research.

     S&G is a multi-disciplinary journal, covering a wide range of
areas, such as sociology, political science, economics, psychology,
education, environmental issues, international studies, management and
business, policy and planning, decision making and conflict  resolution,
cognition, learning theory, communication, intergroup behavior, language
training, media, educational technologies and computing.

            Call for Guest Editorship of Special Theme Issues
            =================================================
     From time to time a special theme issue of S&G is prepared by a
Guest Editor.  Special issues in preparation or that have already
appeared deal with business, debriefing, evaluation, military gaming,
cross-cultural communication and counseling training.  In principle, any
theme can be proposed for a special issue, as long it is important
and of interest to a wide range of readers.  A special issue on the
general theme of the environment would be most welcome.  Alternatively,
more than one issue can be prepared, each focusing on a specific aspect
of environmental/ecological concern.  If you would like to guest
edit a special issue, please send:
      - a one-page proposal (justifying the theme, outlining the
         rational, identifying possible authors and sub-topics, etc.)
      - a short resume (one page)
      - notes on any previous editorial experience
      - name, address, telephone numbers and e-mail address(es) (the
         latter is essential)
to
      crookall@ua1vm.bitnet or
      crookall@ua1vm.ua.edu
To chat about it on the phone, call David at 205-348-9494 (w) or 205-752-
0690 (h): please call back if not in -- do not leave a message.
