in printed form or via E-mail (in ASCII, rtf, LaTex, uuencoded, zipped,
binhexed ( the latter 3 only for Word and WP for Windows 3.x)format),
before MAY 15, 1996
Please, mention in your abstract the novel elements in your research and
its contribution to the field of simulation.
Only original papers, written in English, which have not previously been
published elsewhere will be accepted.
Authors are expected to register early (at a reduced fee) and to attend the
conference at their own expense to present the accepted papers. Without
early registration and payment, the paper will not be published in the
Conference Proceedings.
Each abstract will be reviewed by at least three members of the
International Program Committee. The notification of acceptance or
rejection will be sent by JULY 1, 1996.
Along with the notification of acceptance, an author kit with complete
instructions for preparing a camera-ready copy for the Proceedings will
be sent to authors of accepted abstracts or drafts . The camera-ready copy
of the papers (or electronic versions of the paper in Word 6.0 or WP 5 for
Windows, TeX or LateX ) must be in by SEPTEMBER 5, 1996. In order to
guarantee a high-quality conference, the full papers will be reviewed as
well, to check whether the suggestions of the program committee have been
incorporated. Nominees for the best paper award will then be selected as
well.
Language
The official conference language and the language of the accepted papers
will be English.
State of The Art Reviews or Panel Discussions
If you plan to give state-of-the-art reviews or to organize panel
discussions, then please contact the European Simulation Office.
Best Paper Award
The 1996 European Simulation Symposium will award the best papers, one in
each track. From these papers the best overall paper will be chosen. We will
try to have the awarded overall best paper published in an International
Journal, if necessary after incorporating modifications to the paper.
Submission Deadline: May 15, 1996
Acceptance Notification: July 1 , 1996
