DIRECTORY OF SIMULATION SOFTWARE ISSUED
(San Diego, CA) The 1993 Directory of Simulation Software has been
published by the Society for Computer Simulation (SCS). The
Directory, edited by John Rodrigues of Amber Technologies (Concord,
Massachusetts), features over 50 pages of descriptions of
simulation software packages available in the market today. The
1993 Directory is 25% larger than its predecessor, the 1991
Directory.
Over 100 entries are included in the 1993 Directory of Simulation
Software. Each entry, listed alphabetically by its name, includes
a thorough description of what the package does, the platforms and
operating systems on which the package operates, its approximate
cost, and the complete address of the source or vendor. The
entries are listed in a useful tabular form for easy referral.
Especially useful in the 1993 Directory is an alphabetized subject/
applications index cross-referenced to the various packages listed.
The Society for Computer Simulation makes it clear that while
careful efforts are made to ensure accuracy of the entries, it in
no way endorses the packages listed, and the Society has not tested
any of the packages.
The 1993 Directory of Simulation Software (ISBN 1-56555-015-3) is
available for $30/$20 prepaid for non-members/members of SCS at
P.O. Box 17900, San Diego, California 92177. Credit card (VISA,
Mastercard, AmEx) orders are accepted by phone: (619) 277-3888;

Subject: MISSION EARTH PLANS
I recently sent a message to all of you people on my E-S3 list
asking all who were interested in our activity on behalf of our
environment to ask Ben to "send plans". Because of problems with
Ben's E-mail system we are not now sure just who replied. I am
now taking the liberty of sending our plans for our Technical
Activity MISSION EARTH to all of you. I hope that those of
you who are not interested have a convenient wastebasket.
SCSI conferences for the coming year are:
Western MultiConference on Computer Simulation
La Jolla, California, January 17-20
Simulation MultiConference
Arlington, Virginia, March 29 - April 1.
Summer Computer Simulation Conference
Boston, Mass., July 19-21
International Simulation Technology Conference
November 9-12
A Panel Disussion of project MISSION EARTH, giving progress to
date and following a "brainstorming" format with panelists and the
audience, and at least one paper session, are planned for each of
the conferences, though because there is no longer time to
review papers for the January meeting, those not already accepted
cannot be considered.
For details concerning any of the Conferences please REPLY to

---------------------------------------
TUTORIALS
OOPSLA is well-known for the breadth and depth of its extensive
tutorial program. Proposals are invited for tutorials covering
subjects of interest to the object technology community. Proposals
are solicited at all levels-introductory, intermediate and advanced.
Proposals for both advanced and new topics are especially welcome.
Tutorials offer a forum for educating professionals and give
attendees the opportunity to take an in-depth look at topics of their
choice in intensive half, full or two-day sessions.
All tutorial proposals will be reviewed by a committee under the
direction of the Tutorial chair. Tutorials will be selected on the
basis of importance of the topic, expertise of the presenters and the
quality and educational value of the material to be presented.
Product marketing or selling are inappropriate in this forum.
Anyone considering submitting a proposal for a tutorial should
request guidelines on tutorial submissions from the tutorial chair.
Copies of the proposal must be received by 18 March 1993. E-mail
submissions of proposals will be accepted and appreciated. Proposers
will be notified of acceptance by 12 May 1993 and the final camera-
ready versions of tutorial materials for publication in the tutorial
notebooks will be due on 9 July 1993.

---------------------------------------
PANELS
Successful panels focus on raising issues and fostering stimulating
discussion on important topics in the OO community. While divergent
views from panelists often help foster discussion, the main goal this
year is to provide substance to conference attendees, not
entertainment.
Traditionally, panels have consisted of four or five speakers making
brief position statements, followed by a discussion driven by
questions from the audience. While this format will still be
accepted, we are especially interested in proposals for innovative
formats that will maximize the attendees' value. Panels will be
presented in parallel with the papers. They will be 90 minutes in
length, with at least 45 minutes allotted for discussion and debate.
Submission Requirements:
* Panel title
* Brief summary of the key issues to be discussed
* Each panelist's name, background and a short description of
his/her position on the issues
* Proposed panel format with time allotments (90 minutes maximum)
* Contact information for the panel moderator (name, affiliation,
address and phone number)
Panel proposals must be received by 18 March 1993. Proposers will be
notified of acceptance by 12 May 1993 and the final camera-ready
versions of position papers for publication in the conference
proceedings will be due on 20 June 1993.

---------------------------------------
WORKSHOPS
Workshops are a means for experts to meet and discuss issues with a
selected focus in an atmosphere which fosters the active exchange of
ideas among researchers and practitioners. They provide a forum for
the thrust-and-parry of scientific discourse. Workshops also provide
an opportunity for representatives of a research community to
coordinate efforts and establish collective plans of action.
To ensure a sufficiently small group for effective interaction,
workshop attendance is controlled with prospective attendees
submitting a short position paper outlining their opinions on an
aspect of the workshop topic. Participants are chosen based on the
relevance of their position paper to the workshop theme.
Workshop presentations are at the discretion of the workshop
organizers but all attendees are expected to join in the debate with
ample time allotted for general discussion. After the workshop, the
organizer(s) will be responsible for reporting to the OOP community
via an article in the Proceedings Addendum.
Proposals for workshops should be between one and two pages in
length, and should contain a description of the topic and intended
audience, why the workshop is of interest at this time, and a
proposed schedule or preliminary agenda. Proposals should also
include the names, affiliations, addresses (postal and electronic),
and phone numbers of the organizing committee, which should consist
of more than two people knowledgeable in the field but not all at the
same institution.
Proposals should be submitted as soon as possible but must be
received by 18 March 1993. Electronic submissions will be greatly
appreciated. Workshop organizers will be notified of acceptance or
rejection by 12 May 1993.

---------------------------------------
DEMONSTRATIONS
Proposals are invited for live demonstrations of systems that use,
apply, or teach object-oriented programming and technology. At past
OOPSLAs, the demonstrations have been well attended and have been an
excellent venue for discussing technical aspects of projects and
tools.
Demonstrations will be selected on the basis of technical merit,
relevance to object-oriented programming, novel and interesting
features, and feasibility. Presenters should be members of the
development or implementation team and will give a technical
presentation to a technical audience. Product marketing or selling
are inappropriate in this forum.
Demonstrations of both commercial and in-house applications, as well
as academic and corporate research are sought. In addition to new
efforts, we are also interested in "where are they now"
demonstrations of projects shown in previous years.
Demonstrations should not exceed 30 minutes. Proposals for
demonstrations must include a one-page abstract providing the title
and description of the demonstration, and the names, affiliation,
addresses (postal and electronic), and phone number of the
demonstrators. In addition, a description of the technical and
hardware requirements for the demonstration is needed. While every
effort will be made to provide equipment, demonstrators may be asked
to provide their own equipment or to make arrangements for sharing
equipment. For details contact the Demonstrations Chair.
Three copies of the proposal, including the abstract and technical
requirements, must be received by 18 March 1993. Proposers will be
notified of acceptance by 12 May 1993.

presentations of unrefereed reports describing practical experience
applying object technology to production quality software
development.
Prospective speakers submit a 1-2 page description of the project
scope and status and the specific points to be covered in the
presentation to the experience report chair by 18 March 1993.
Selection will be based on relevance and potential interest.
Summaries will be collected after the conference for publication in
the Proceedings Addendum issue of the OOPS Messenger. Contact the
Experience Reports Chair or access the OOPSLA '93 Hotline for

The Poster Session will provide a forum for one-to-one and small
group interaction about specific object technology work-either
theoretical or applied in nature. Acceptable posters should provide
both visual impact and the ability to stimulate interaction among
attendees. We especially invite works in progress, work by students,
work concerning new methods and processes, and work concerning
controversial topics.

THIS YEAR'S SPECIAL INTEREST TOPICS
As the technology matures, special interest communities emerge as
practical and research applications prove and challenge the use of
object technology. Conference organizers have targeted the following
areas in which we are especially interested in contributions this year:
---------------------------------------
OBJECT TECHNOLOGY AND GOVERNMENT
In recognition of our convening the conference in Washington, D.C.,
special attention will be paid to contributions that focus on the
interests, experiences, research and concerns surrounding the use
and support of object technology in government. The Special Interest
Topic Chairs are soliciting papers, panels, workshops, experience
reports, demonstrations and invited talks that reflect diverse
multinational, federal and local government applications and issues
in object technology.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, experience and
"lessons learned" in introducing object technology into government
information systems; standards, ownership and reuse issues related
to object technology and government funded development; personnel
management and contracting dynamics which impact the attractiveness
of using high productivity technology; integrating object technology
and legacy systems; real and perceived roadblocks to businesses
involved in developing for and delivering object technology to
government.

CO2: A Balancing of Accounts
The following is an edited and condensed version of an article
which appeared in Options, published by the International
Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), located in
Laxenburg, Austria.
* *
Who is responsible for the buildup of atmospheric CO2 that has
sparked fears of global warming? And if people can agree on the
need to reduce carbon emissions, what would be a fair way to
allocate emission quotas? These two questions, so vital in the
issue of global climate change, are at the heart of a study
completed recently by Yasumasa Fujii. The study recently won for
him one of three coveted Peccei Scholarships awarded by IIASA for
outstanding work in its Young Scientists Summer Program.
While participating in the 1990 YSSP, Fujii developed a novel
approach to the problem of climate change and international
burden-sharing. The result is a working paper that offers fresh
insights into the question of historic contributions to the CO2
buildup, and the problem of how to allocate future emissions
fairly. The scheme is founded on a principle of rigorous equity:
all people born from the onset of the Industrial Revolution to
the year 2100 would have an equal carbon emission quota,
regardless of where or when they lived. Fujii adopted this
principle in part to address the concerns of developing nations,
which point out that they have enjoyed few of the fruits of
industrialization -- the main cause of the CO2 buildup -- yet
they are now being asked to share the burden of carbon cutbacks.
Under Fujii's scheme, present and future generations of Africans,
Asians, and Latin Americans would inherit the unspent carbon
quotas of their 19th- and 20th-century forerunners. But his
calculations indicate that this inheritance may be of little
benefit to poorer nations, given trends in population growth.
Fujii concluded that continued high population growth in the
developing world would quickly overwhelm any emission credits
from past generations, leaving developing regions in the 21st
century with per capita quotas not significantly greater than for
most of the developed world.
His study, like other energy-related work underway at IIASA,
reflects mounting concern about the consequences of changes in
the atmosphere. Devastation of forests and crops, flooding of
islands and sea coasts, great storms and great droughts -- these
are some of the predicted upshots of climate change brought on by
manmade changes in the atmosphere. Skeptics point out that all
projections of climate change, let alone its consequences, will
remain suspect until science better understands the complex
systems that regulate climate.
However, some scientists contend that waiting for that
understanding entails a colossal gamble. In 1986 the World
Meteorological Organization concluded: "We are conducting one
giant experiment on a global scale by increasing the
concentration of trace gases in the atmosphere without knowing
the consequences."
The main greenhouse gases put into the atmosphere by human
activity are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, chlorofluorocarbons,
nitrous oxide, and ozone. CO2 is the biggest problem, accounting
for about half the addition to natural global warming potential.
And the biggest source of increased CO2, as well as nitrous
oxide, is the burning of fossil fuels for energy. The 1990
report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated
that energy use accounts for 46% of mankind's yearly greenhouse-
gas emissions, and predicted that the figure will rise to 65%.
Clearly, control of global warming will depend on control of
energy use. The most obvious form of control - burning fewer
fossil fuels - would yield great benefits in areas unrelated to
global warming, notably in the control of pollution.
Part of the solution lies in greater energy efficiency. Another
part lies in a shift to energy sources that emit fewer greenhouse
gases. But projections at IIASA and elsewhere indicate that even
if these measures and others are vigorously pursued, the buildup
of greenhouse gases will continue.
The driving factor will be population. Various projections
indicate that high growth rates in the developing world,
especially Africa, will cause the world's population to double or
even triple within 50 years. Leaders of many poor countries
insist that economic and social development take priority over
other issues, which in practice may mean a growing consumption of
energy.
The question then is not whether atmospheric greenhouse gases
will increase, but how quickly and by how much. In light of
this, international agreements to limit carbon emissions could
be vitally important.
Fujii has developed a simplified mathematical model of
atmospheric concentration. The resulting calculations lend
support to the complaints of developing nations that current
levels of carbon emissions do not reflect historic responsibility
for the CO2 problem. For most of the past two centuries
Europeans and North Americans have consumed vast quantities of
fossil fuels. By contrast the peoples of most developing
countries consumed insignificant amounts. Recent statistics,
however, show a dramatic rise in fossil fuel consumption in some
industrializing regions, notably in countries such as China that
have turned to coal as a source of cheap and available power.
Thus Western Europe currently accounts for about 16% of the
carbon added annually to the atmosphere by the burning of fossil
fuels, but Fujii's calculations suggest that it is responsible
for 26% of the rise in atmospheric CO2 levels since 1800. By
contrast, Asia (including China, a major coal user) currently
accounts for 19% of annual emissions, but is responsible for only
9% of the historic buildup.
His calculations of per capita emissions show an even greater
regional imbalance. Since 1800 North Americans have been by far
the greatest emitters of carbon, averaging about 3.7 tons per
person per year. Western Europeans have been the third largest
contributors, averaging about 1.2 tons per person per year.
Current consumption in North America is about 5.3 tons per person
per year; in Western Europe 2.3 tons.
Fujii's calculations also underscore the fact that
industrialization came late to the USSR and Eastern Europe. In
1990 the USSR emitted 3.3 tons of carbon per person per year,
making its peoples the second-highest emitters of carbon after
North Americans. But since 1800 the peoples of the USSR and its
forerunners have averaged about 0.9 tons per year, or a quarter
as much as North Americans.
As for Asia, Africa, and Latin America, none has historical
averages above a quarter-ton per person per year. They currently
average carbon emissions of 0.3 to 0.6 tons per person per year.
Fujii calculates that Asia, Africa, and Latin America would have
average quotas through the next century of 1.5 to 1.7 tons per
person per year, a negligible difference from the quotas of 1.4
to 1.7 tons calculated for Western and Eastern Europe, the former
Soviet Union, and Japan. The exception was North America, where
the quota calculations reflect generations of high energy use.
Future North Americans could redress the region's carbon account
balance only by cutting average emissions to 0.5 tons per person
per year, about a tenth of the current rate in the region.
The comparison is equally stark when calculated as a yearly rate
of change from current emission levels. North Americans would
have to cut per capita emissions between now and 2100 by 7.4%
each year. By comparison the annual cuts required for other
industrialized regions would be significantly smaller; for the
former Soviet Union, 1.5% per year; Eastern and Western Europe,
1.0%; Japan, less than 0.5%. Africa, Asia, and Latin America
would be able to triple and quadruple their current per capita
emissions to levels comparable to averages in the industrialized
world outside North America.
Fujii readily acknowledges weaknesses in his methodology. His
carbon cycle model is based on relatively simple mathematics, but
as his study notes, "The real carbon cycle must have non-linear
characteristics and be desperately complicated." His
calculations of quotas are based only on emissions from fossil
fuel consumption, neglecting emissions from biotic sources. They
also neglect potential efforts to mitigate carbon buildup,
including reforestation or CO2 abatement technologies. And his
rigid criteria of equity overlook complex and deep-rooted
linkages among energy use, geography, and social history.
In summary, Fujii's study underscores some important points.
(1) North Americans bear the largest historical responsibility
for the present carbon problem. (2) Some regions currently
emitting high amounts of carbon per capita, notably the former
USSR, Eastern Europe, and Asia, have contributed relatively little
historically to the problem. (3) Historic rebalancing of carbon
emissions would require only modest annual per capita cuts in
emissions by most industrialized regions, but radical cuts by
North America. (4) Expected high rates of population growth in
developing regions would quickly overwhelm any emission credits
inherited from past generations, leaving them with CO2
allocations no greater than in most developed regions.
