CALL FOR PAPERS
10th Workshop on
Parallel and Distributed Simulation (PADS '96)
May 22--24, 1996, Philadelphia, PA, USA
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
parallel and distributed simulation. The scope of the
conference includes, but is not limited to:
o Algorithms and methods for parallel simulation.
(E.g., synchronization, scheduling, memory manage-
ment, load balancing, partitioning and allocation).
o Models of parallel simulation. (E.g., stochastic,
Markov, process algebraic, temporal logic).
o Methodologies for parallel simulation. (E.g.,
system modeling for parallel simulation, specifi-
cation, adapting sequential methodologies, paral-
lelizing existing simulations, new methodologies
for parallel simulation).
o Implementation Issues. (E.g., general-purpose
parallel simulators, application-specific paral-
lel simulators, relationship to the underlying
architecture, languages for parallel simulation).
o Performance of parallel simulation. (E.g., empiri-
cal studies, benchmarks, comparative studies).
o Case studies. (E.g., multiprocessor architectures,
cache simulations, personal communication systems,
telecommunication networks, VLSI circuits).
Schedule
Send submissions to the program chair by October 31,
1995. Notification of acceptance will be made by
December 22, 1995. Camera ready hardcopy is due
January 31, 1996.
Submissions
Papers shall be written in English and should not
exceed 5000 words. Papers must be unpublished and
must not submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors
are encouraged to submit their papers in electronic
form (postscript only). Guidelines for electronic
submission are available on the World-Wide Web at the
URL given below. Papers may also be submitted in
hardcopy form, in which case six copies are required.
Each submission must be accompanied by the following
information: a short abstract, a complete list of the
authors and their affiliations, a contact person for
correspondence, postal and E-mail addresses. To ensure
blind reviewing, authors' names and affiliations should
not appear in the paper and bibliographic references
should be modified so as not to reveal the identities
of the authors.
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.
