SUBMISSION DEADLINE:  Sept 28, 2002

   The steering committee for the Workshop on Parallel and Distributed
   Simulation (PADS) has approved an expanded scope for work published
   and presented in this conference.  In addition to the traditional
   focus on parallel and distributed simulation methods and
   applications, the conference will now include all aspects of
   simulation technology.  The steering and program committees look
   forward to a number of high--quality paper submissions in the
   following areas.

       The construction of simulation engines using advanced computer
       science technology; either sequential, parallel, or distributed in
       nature.

       Techniques for constructing scalable simulations that can
       incorporate hundreds of thousands to millions of entities.  Enabling
       technology in either the simulation engine or model construction
       technology are both encouraged.

       Advanced modeling techniques that allow solution of previously
       difficult or impossible problem domains.  These techniques should be
       generally applicable across a wide variety of differing problem
       areas.

       Simulation visualization techniques that incorporate advances in
       software technology or data representation.

       Algorithms and methods for parallel or distributed simulation,
       including synchronization, scheduling, memory management, and load
       balancing.

       Applications of large--scale or distributed simulation methods, such
       as computer architecture, computer networks, VLSI, manufacturing,
       and biological/social systems.

       Distributed interactive simulation and distributed virtual
       environments.

   Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 5000
   words. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for
   publication elsewhere.  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.
