new deadline for paper submisison for ESS'2001


Dear Colleague,


We had a large number of requests to extend the deadline for paper

submission. In case you have a paper in preparation, and can not meet

the deadline we would like to inform you that the new deadline is:


Submission Deadline: April 30, 2001


We hope that this gives you the chance to submit your paper.


I hope to see you in Marseille.



Agostino, Claudia and Norbert



Please pass it on to any colleagues that might also be interested.

CONFERENCE TOPICS


The 13th annual European Simulation Symposium concentrates on the
industrial

application of simulators and computer technology. Increasingly the
industrial

application of simulation is being used by companies, to analyze their
relative

strengths and weaknesses and to focus on specific processes open for

improvement. With the integration of artificial intelligence and other
modeling

techniques, simulation has become an effective and appropriate decision
support

tool, as well. The exchange of techniques and ideas among universities
and

industry, which support the integration of simulation in the everyday 

workplace,

is the basic premise at the heart of ESS'2001. ESS'2001 consists of four
major

parts. A part concerns itself with simulation applications, another 
with

simulation methodology, then there are the workshops, the exhibition and
last

but not least the poster sessions for students..


The application section covers: Automation, CAD/CAM/CAE, Defense
Electronics,

Design Automation, Simulation in industrial Design, Industrial
Engineering,

Industrial and Process Simulation, Manufacturing, OR, Business and
Services

Simulations, Emergency Management, Environmental Sciences and Mission
Earth,

Intelligence and Security, Logistics and Transport, Power Plants,
Multibody

Systems, Aerospace, Training and Educational Support., Distributed
Interactive

Simulation


The methodologies section covers: Simulation Methodologies, Languages
and 

Tools,

Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Based Simulation, Virtual Reality,
Synthetic

Environments, Petri Nets and Performance Analysis.


There will be four theme specific workshops at the conference: the DEVS

workshop, the Ecology Workshop, the Bond Graph Workshop and the
Artificial

Neural Networks Workshop. The DEVS Workshop will cover: Extensions to
the
DEVS

formalism, DEVS and Distributed DEVS frameworks, DEVS-based next
generation

VHDL, DEVS standardization, DEVS applications


	The Ecology Workshop's main goal is to enhance the transdisciplinarity
and

to facilitate contacts and dialogs between computer scientists and
specialists

of Environmental Sciences. Since 10 years the modelling process took
benefits

from recent (and less recent) techniques of computer science :
Object-Oriented

Languages, Discrete Event Simulation, Concepts

  of Agent and Actor, Fuzzy Logic, UML, model - GIS interface, 
Web-based

simulation... Many, many simulators were built in the wide spectra of

environment managing, predictive models of forest growth, fishing,
climate and

other biological processes.

Papers dealing with ecological modelling (in a large sense) are welcome.
As for

instance few topics are indicated:

Applications: Environment managing, Waste managing, Ecosystem dynamics

(terrestrial and oceanographic ecology) Population dynamics (diseases &

epidemics, changes in biodiversity, genome, predator-prey 
relationships,

fishing...), Population behaviour, Individual behaviour, involving

methodologies such as : Artificial Intelligence, Distributed 
Interactive

Simulation High-Performance Computing Languages , Modelling Techniques,

Simulation Methodologies & Tools , Synthetic Environment , Virtual
Reality ,

Petri nets DEVS and Bond Graphs


	The Bond Graph Workshop will bring experts together for the purpose of

discussing new concepts, methods, techniques tools and applications of
this

energy-based modeling methodology. Papers dealing with all aspects of
the 

use of

bond graphs in system design, analysis, and control are welcome.  The
workshop

will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of recent
research and

applications of the Bond Graph methodology.

Research papers are welcome in the following categories of 
presentation:

Tutorials, Panel Discussions, Software and Tools,

Bond Graph Theory, Advanced Bond Graph Methodology, Bond Graphs and
Block

Diagrams, Computer Graphics and Bond Graph Modeling, Qualitative
Modeling,

Mechatronics Systems, Mechanical Systems and Robotics, Electrical and
Power

Systems, Control Systems, Thermal and Chemical Systems, Biomechanics 
and

Prosthetics, Ecological Systems, Biological and Medical Systems, Social
and

Economic Systems, Industrial Applications, Large, Non-linear Models


	The Artificial Neural Networks Workshop will provide a forum for the

presentation and discussion of recent research and applications of
artificial

neural networks such as in machine learning, data analysis and
simulation. The

aim of the workshop is to encourage and facilitate interdisciplinary

communication amongst university and industry professionals in applying
ANN.

Papers dealing with ANN applications (in a large sense) are welcome. As
for

instance few topics are indicated: Classification, Data analysis, Fault

tolerance, Forecasting, Knowledge acquisition, Economics and Finance,
Planning,

Pre-treatment of the data, Process control, Robotics, Speech and image

recognition, Web intelligence, involving methodologies such as : Hybrid
systems

(GA, fuzzy, symbolic representation, Methods or tools for evaluating 
ANN

performance, Reinforcement Learning, Simulation tools (research,
education,

development), ...


The exhibition is aimed at companies designing simulation products. The
program

provides specific time blocks designed to enhance vendor contact with 

attendees.


The poster sessions are devoted to Ph.D. Students who can come to
present
and

discuss their thesis work with experts in the area of simulation.
Ph.D.Students

should submit overview articles, describing the area of their research


CONFERENCE SITE


The conference will be held in the beautiful French city of Marseilles,
used as

many a backdrop of many a great movie. The city lies on the crossroads
of
the

orient and the easy-going life of the south of France. Famous for its
Old

Fishing Port and fine food. The fishing port made famous by the many
works of

Marcel Pagnol. Next to the Old port, the city boasts a very well
preserved 

inner

city dating back to the 17th century. The townhall for example dates
back
from

that era and as Marseille used to be, next to Toulon an important
strategic 

town

for the French Navy, many remnants of that illustrious past still
abound.. One

of the main attractions of the city for naval buffs is the naval museum,
which

houses some of the finest naval exhibits in the world.

So, make sure Marseilles is the destination for you this Autumn and be
at

ESS'2001., thePlace to meet simulation experts in your field of
expertise.


The conference will be held at The Mercure Marseille Euro-Centre. Right
next to

the CMCI and close to the Canebiere and the chamber of commerce, part of
the

Bourse mall, the hotel overflows the famous "Vieux-Port"and the "Jardin
des

Vestiges. The hotel offers 199 guest rooms. Also available: bar,
restaurant, 12

meeting rooms for 300 people. Pets are allowed, car park available.
