Welcome to this month's SCS Simulation News. This electronic
newsletter is published monthly and sent to your email address.
Our purpose is to keep SCS members and others in the modeling and
simulation communities up to date on the activities of the Society for
Modeling and Simulation International. Please forward this newsletter
to friends, peers and colleagues with interests in modeling and
simulation.
Please send comments and suggestions to the newsletter editor,

1. News and developments in modeling and simulation
* Appearing very soon: the first edition of the new Modeling and
Simulation Magazine will be appearing as an insert in SIMULATION.
It will include general interest items such as columns by well-known
M&S personalities, news, product introductions, technology
breakthroughs, etc.
* An international group led by Bernie Zeigler is developing
standards for a computer representation of DEVS. The commitee will
discuss standarization to support common understanding, sharing and
interoperability of DEVS implementations. The group's first meeting
was planned for ASTC '01. Researchers interested in joining the
group should contact Gabriel Wainer, mailto:gwainer@sce.carleton.ca
* The 2002 American Control Conference will be held at the William A.
Egan Civic and Convention Center in Anchorage, Alaska, USA, on
May 8-10, 2002. The ACC is an annual, 3-day event, presenting
about 800 papers, with over 1200 participants. This premier
conference focuses on advances in the theory and practice
associated with automatic control. See the conference section
below for more information.
* The submission deadline for the 2001 Summer Computer Simulation
Conference has been extended to April 30. Also, companies interested
in exhibiting at the SCSC'01 should contact the SCSC'01 Exhibit
chair,
Tom Mastaglio at mailto:tom.mastaglio@mymic.net
For more information on SCSC'01 goto

* Announcing the first annual Student Paper Competition at SCSC '01.
For details, contact Ling Rothrock at Wright State University
mailto:lrothroc@cs.wright.edu
Papers and other required information must be submitted by May 15.
* Have you accessed the SCS Publications Archive yet? Please check out
the most comprehensive M&S research source on the web, now populated
with more than 1100 documents, including the proceedings of the
2000 Summer Computer Simulation Conference. It can be accessed from

3. Publications
Watch this area over the next few months for more information about
the roll-out of these new SCS publications:
* Modeling and Simulation Magazine. The first issue will appear as
an insert into SIMULATION in the March, 2001 issue. It will
continue to be published in this format quarterly throughout 2001.
* SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and
Simulation, International. This new publication will unify the
society's research efforts, beginning in January 2002.
* Our web vault is at http://scs.affinitycity.com Check it out.
It will store our growing collection of journal and proceedings
articles.
