The Software Technology Track of HICSS-29 will organize a set of
sessions (Minitrack) oriented towards HIGH PERFORMANCE, PARALLEL
and DISTRIBUTED SIMULATION techniques (find details attached).

The main aim of the Minitrack is to provide a forum for the 
exploration of new high performance simulation concepts and
techniques, as well as their successful application on today's
and tomorrow's parallel execution platforms. A few contributions
have appeared recently showing that parallel and distributed 
simulation is more foundational than the issues raised by
the duality of Lamport's logical clock problem. Some examples of
hot spots of evolving challenges and applications are 

	+ parallelizing compilation systems for simulation
	+ parallel object oriented simulation
	+ distributed interactive simulation
	+ `virtualization' of space (opposed to virtual time)
	+ new parallel and distributed simulation languages and tools
	+ simulated direct execution of parallel codes
	+ runtime parallelization and data-parallel execution environments
	+ intrusion free monitoring/debugging of asynchr. parallel programs
	+ dynamic load balancing and self-adaptive protocols
	+ parallel continuous simulation
	+ operating system support and environments for parallel simulation
	+ etc.

But also new attempts and research efforts addressing the `classical' 
parallel and distributed simulation topics have been motivated by
recent developments such as 64-bit microprocessor technology,
symmetric multiprocessing in multiprocessor workstations, scalable
virtual shared memory machines, multithreading, etc.:

	+ simulation models and modeling formalisms (stochastic processes,
		process algebras, temporal logic)
	+ new concurrent simulation algorithms and decomposition strategies
	+ performance prediction/analysis of concurrent simulation systems
	+ successful applications (e.g. DSP, VLSI, mobile communication,
		autonomous agents, memory hierarchies, multiprocessors, 
		multi media systems, networking, database systems, etc.)
	+ high performance simulation in economics, engineering, manufacturing,
		biotechnology, optimization, operations research, etc.
	+ high performance real time simulation

The Minitrack on Parallel and Distributed Simulation solicits papers
describing state-of-the-art research in the context of these or related
topics. Papers dealing with innovative theoretical, algorithmic, performance,
architectural and application level approaches are of interest. Papers
presenting applications that potentially define new frontiers in high
performance simulation are particularly encouraged. The mini-track
is expected to have a good blend of theory, new algorithms and their
(performance) comparison to existing strategies, successful applications
to real-life problems, and experience reports on experiments involving
the latest multiprocessor technology. 

Submitted papers will undergo a thorough reviewing process, and accepted 
papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE 
Computer Society. The paper must contain original results and not have been
submitted elsewhere while it is being evaluated for acceptance for HICSS-29.
Manuscripts that have already appeared in publication will not be considered 
for this conference. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to work out
a follow-on manuscript presenting also background material and a 
comprehensive survey of related work, to be published as a chapter
of a book on "Frontiers in High Performance Simulation". Arrangements
are currently being made for publishing this intended collection.

To submit, send six (6) copies of the full paper, consisting of 22-26
double-spaced, typewritten pages, including diagrams.  The paper 
should have a title page which includes the title of the paper, full 
name of all authors, their complete addresses including affiliation(s),
telephone number(s), e-mail address(es), and FAX number(s).  In order
to expedite the reviewing  process, please submit your paper also in
PostScript format as created on most Unix systems by e.g.:

cat authorname.ps | compress | uuencode authorname.ps.Z > authorname.uue

to <ferscha@ani.univie.ac.at>. 

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any further 
questions at this stage. Any suggestions regarding the reviewing 
process as well as your personal help in arriving at a good paper 
selection are appreciated.

     29th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, HICSS-29
		Maui, Hawaii - January 3-6, 1996
   *********************************************************************
This year, the Software Technology Track of HICSS-29 will focus on a broad 
selection of topics in the area of High Performance Distributed Systems: 
Design, Implementation, and Applications. This particular solicitation for 
the Software Track will provide a forum to discuss new advances in theory, 
design, implementation, use, application, and performance evaluation of high 
performance distributed systems. We invite papers that may be theoretical, 
conceptual, tutorial, or descriptive in nature. Those papers selected for 
presentation will appear in the Conference Proceedings. HICSS-29 is sponsored
by the University of Hawaii. 
The Conference Proceedings are published by the IEEE Computer Society. A 
collection of the accepted papers will be considered for inclusion in a 
separately bound volume to be determined (publisher and exact dates of 
publication) at a later time.
