CALL FOR PAPERS AND PRESENTATIONS
2001 European Simulation Interoperability Workshop
Sponsored by the
Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization
in cooperation with
The Society for Computer Simulation - Europe
International Training Equipment Conference (ITEC, Ltd.)
University of Westminster, Harrow Campus
Harrow, Middlesex, UK
June 25 - 27, 2001
You are invited to participate in SISO's First European Simulation
Interoperability Workshop (SIW), held in cooperation with SCS-Europe
and ITEC, Ltd. Also participating in the Workshop is the Simulation
in Europe Working Group (SiE-WG), an ESPRIT Information Technology
Basic Research Working Group formerly sponsored by the European Union.
This Working Group brings together industries, academia and end-users
involved in the development as well as the use of modeling and
simulation.
This workshop will include a wide range of modeling and simulation
(M&S) issues, applications, and communities. The Workshop will include
multiple tracks and special sessions addressing simulation
interoperability issues and proposed solutions; tutorials on
state-of-the-art methodologies, tools, and techniques; and exhibits
presenting the latest technological advances.
Additional information about this Workshop is posted at the SISO web
site. This information will be updated as further details become
available. See
http://www.sisostds.org/siw/01Euro/index.htm
SITE AND ACCOMMODATIONS. The Workshop will be held at the University
of Westminster, Harrow Campus (just north of London). Basic site
information is available via a link at the SISO web site:
http://www.sisostds.org/siw/01Euro/index.htm
Low-cost accommodations may be reserved as part of the registration
process through February, 2001. Single student rooms are available,
with en-suite shower and toilet, plus an unlimited direct internet
connection, cable TV, and telephone, all for approximately $50 per
night! A small number of double rooms are available. A list of
inexpensive nearby hotels is provided in the article for those who
may wish to bring their spouses. No children are permitted in the
student housing area.
The registration package includes breakfast, lunch, coffee and tea
breaks for Monday through Wednesday, plus a catered reception on
Monday evening. Tuesday evening will be left free for those who
would like to try one of the twenty restaurants within a ten-minute
walk of the campus, or to travel into London via Underground
(15 minutes to Baker St. Station). The cost (excluding lodging) is
expected to be $450, with a discount for early registration.
REGISTRATION. Registration details will be posted on the SISO
web site as soon as arrangements are finalized. Registration will be
handled via the IEEE Conference Management Services web site,
similar to the way registration is handled for the Orlando SIWs.
International credit card payments will be accepted. We are planning
to begin accepting reservations on the first of January.
TUTORIALS. Tutorials will be presented on Monday morning, and perhaps
repeated in additional sessions, on topics such as
* An Introduction to the High-Level Architecture for M&S (HLA)
* Adapting Existing Simulations to Use HLA
* Designing Simulations for Use in Multiple Federations
* The Synthetic Environment Data Representation and Interchange
Specification (SEDRIS), including proposed SISO and ISO
standards.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION INFORMATION. The Workshop invites papers and
presentations relating to distributed simulation applications and
technologies, interoperability issues and special topics, as
summarized below. Abstracts will be reviewed and selected for
consideration by the Program Committee. An "Author's Guide"
will be posted soon at http://www.sisostds.org/siw/01Euro/index.htm
KEY DATES. For planning purposes, the expected paper deadlines are
Abstracts due electronically 15 Dec 2000
Papers due electronically 1 Mar 2001
Papers due in camera-ready form 1 May 2001
2001 Euro-SIW opens 25 Jun 2001
CALL FOR PAPERS INFORMATION
The co-sponsors invite submission of papers and presentations in each
of the areas listed below. Generally, papers and presentations are
considered under two main categories:
* User Forums, which examine and promote topics of interest
related to the use, adequacy of available simulation
capabilities and new capabilities needed by M&S users
* Specialty Area Forums, which examine and promote current and
emerging simulation processes and technology.
The track organization of the 2001 European SIW will depend on the
nature and content of the specific submissions received.
USER FORUMS
User Community Forums include
Analysis
Interoperability issues and uses of distributed models and
simulations for analysis.
Research, Development, and Engineering
Interoperability issues and uses of distributed models and
simulations for Research, Development and Engineering.
Test and Evaluation
Uses of advanced distributed simulation (ADS) in test and
evaluation (T&E), including the incorporation of live entities with
virtual and constructive simulations, and with linking historically
standalone T&E facilities into distributed simulations.
Team Training
Use of simulations that provide individual, sub-team, and team
training to system operators, team leaders, tactical decision makers,
and other hands-on users, including applications of both live and
virtual simulation in training.
Staff-Level Training
Issues of simulation in training higher echelon military staffs or
their civilian equivalents.
Simulation Based Acquisition (SBA)
Integration and reuse of distributed models and simulations for
systems acquisition, which may span any or all of the areas above.

long-term evolution of a generalized Federation Development
Process (FEDEP) for HLA federations.

the representation of logistics systems at the national, strategic,
operational, and tactical military levels, as well as appropriate
aspects of coalition partner, host nation, civilian, and commercial
