Call for Papers: 39th Annual Simulation
Symposium
Part of 2006 Spring Simulation Multiconference
Huntsville,
AL
April 2-6,
2006
Sponsored
by:
The
Society for Modeling and Simulation
International
(Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society)
The
Annual Simulation Symposium is a forum for the exchange of ideas, techniques,
and applications among practitioners of simulation in industry, government,
and academia.
This international Symposium is the oldest continuously
operating conference/symposium
dedicated to simulation.
The
paper sessions are designed to promote discussion of concepts, tools,
methodologies,
and results between authors and the audience. The structure
of the Symposium also provides
for a degree of collegiality and continuity
in the discussions of the various topics
presented during the
week.
Original contribution in all areas of modeling and simulation
are welcome. This year's
Symposium is particularly seeking papers in the
following topical areas:
Object-Oriented Simulation
Simulation
Languages, Tools, and Environments
VLSI Circuit Simulators
Simulation of
Multiprocessor Architectures
Simulation of Distributed Systems and
Databases
Simulation of Parallel Processing Systems
Simulation based
Performance Analysis
Network Modeling and Simulation
