PADS provides a forum for presenting recent results in parallel and
distributed simulation. The scope of the conference includes, but is not
limited to:
TOPICS
o Algorithms and methods for parallel simulation
(E.g. synchronization, scheduling, memory management, 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, specification,
adapting sequential methodologies, parallelizing existing
simulations, new methodologies for parallel simulation)
o Implementation Issues
(E.g. general-purpose parallel simulators, application-
specific parallel simulators, relationship to the underlying
architecture, languages for parallel simulation)
o Performance of parallel simulation
(E.g. theoretical studies, empirical studies, benchmarks,
comparative studies)
o Application of parallel simulation
(E.g. simulation of computer architectures, VLSI circuits,
personal communication systems, telecommunication networks)
o Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS)
(E.g. event synchronization in distributed multi-user virtual
reality environments)

SUBMISSIONS
Papers shall be written in English and should not exceed 5000 words. Papers
must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere.
Authors are encouraged to submit their papers in ELECTRONIC form to
pad...@it.kth.se
(postscript only), DEADLINE November 1, 1996. Guidelines for electronic
submission are available on the World-Wide Web at the URL given below.
Papers may also be submitted in HARDCOPY form to one of the program co-
chairs, in which case six copies are required, DEADLINE October 15, 1996.
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.
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.
