2001)
May 15-18, 2001, Lake Arrowhead, California, USA
http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~paw/pads2001
SPONSORS: ACM Special Interest Group on Simulation (SIGSIM)*, IEEE
Computer
Society Technical Committee on Simulation (IEEE-TCSIM), and Society for
Computer Simulation (SCS)*.
TOPICS: PADS provides a forum for presenting recent results in parallel
and
distributed simulation. The scope of the conference includes, but is not
limited to:
Algorithms and methods for parallel simulation (e.g.
synchronization, scheduling, memory management, load balancing,
partitioning and allocation.)
Models of parallel simulation (e.g. stochastic, Markovian,
process algebraic, temporal logic.)
Methodology for parallel simulation (e.g. system modeling for parallel
simulation, specification, adapting sequential methodologies,
parallelizing existing simulations.)
Parallel simulation languages and models (e.g. language and
implementation issues, models of parallel simulation, execution
environments, libraries.)
Performance of parallel simulation (e.g. theoretical and empirical
studies, prediction and analysis, cost models, benchmarks,
comparative studies.)
Application of parallel simulation (e.g. computer architecture, VLSI,
telecommunication networks, manufacturing, dynamic systems,
biological/social systems, parallel and distributed computing.)
Web based distributed simulation (e.g. multimedia and real time
applications, fault tolerance, implementation issues, use of Java,
CORBA.)
Distributed Interactive Simulation (e.g. synchronization in multi-user
distributed simulation, virtual reality environments, HLA,
interoperability.)
SCHEDULE: Submissions to the program chair:
by OCTOBER 1, 2000 for hardcopy, or
by OCTOBER 13, 2000 for electronic submission.
Notification of acceptance: by DECEMBER 20, 2000.
Camera ready copy is due FEBRUARY 28, 2001.
SUBMISSIONS: Papers must be written in English and should not exceed
5000 words.
Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication
elsewhere.
Authors are encouraged to submit their papers in electronic form
(Postscript
only). Guidelines for electronic submission are available on the
World-Wide Web
at the URL given below. Paper may also be submitted in hardcopy form in
which
case six copies are required. Each submission must be accompanied by
the
following information: a short abstract, a complete list of authors and
their
affiliations, a contact person for correspondence, post and email
addresses.
All submissions will be reviewed using a double-blind review process,
i.e., the
identity of authors, and referees will not be revealed to each other. To
ensure
blind reviewing, authors' names and affiliations should not appear in
the paper,
bibliographic references should be modified so as not to reveal the
identities
of the authors.

Original contribution in all areas of modeling and simulation are
welcome.
This year's Symposium is particularly 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 Simulation of Parallel Processing Systems
