Call For Papers
      9th Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation (PADS)
               June 14-16, Lake Placid, New York

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 the
simulation of large and complex systems by exploiting concurrency.
The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to:
    Algorithms, and methods for concurrent simulation (e.g.
      optimistic, conservative, discrete, continuous, event-driven,
      oblivious)
    Programming paradigms for concurrent simulation (e.g.
      object-oriented, logic, functional)
    Models of concurrent simulation (e.g. stochastic, process
      algebraic, temporal logic)
    Performance evaluation (both theoretical and experimental) of
      concurrent simulation systems
    Special purpose concurrent simulation (e.g. multiprocessor
      architectures, distributed systems, telecommunication networks,
      VLSI circuits, cache simulations)
    Relationship of concurrent simulation and underlying architecture
      (e.g. SIMD and MIMD machines, geographically distributed
      computers, tightly-coupled multiprocessors)

Schedule: Send submissions to program chair by November 8, 1994.
          Notification of acceptance will be made by February 6, 1995.
          Camera ready copy is due March 21, 1995.

Submissions: Prospective authors should submit six copies of the paper
   written in English and not exceeding 5000 words. Papers must be
   unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Each
   submission should include the following in a cover sheet: short
   abstract, contact person for correspondence, postal and e-mail
   addresses. To ensure blind reviewing, authors' names and
   affiliations should appear only on the cover sheet.  Bibliographic
   references should be modified so as not to reveal the authors'
   identity. Papers submitted by electronic mail will not be
   considered.

Review Process: All submissions will be reviewed using a double-blind
   review process -- the identity of authors and referees will not be
   revealed to each other. Papers may be accepted as regular or short
   papers. In addition, papers may be accepted for inclusion in a
   poster session. Papers judged to be of exceptional quality may be
   considered for publication in a special issue of an archival
   journal, to be determined at a later date.
