Subject: FAQ


Would anyone be interested in building a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
file for Simulation Digest? There are some really excellent ones for other
news groups. Two that stand out are the FAQ for sci.virtual-worlds (recently
done) and the one for comp.text.tex. I might get around to it one of these
days; however, volunteers are solicited.

      There is a new listserv list for
      discussion of items related to
      Teaching Simulation at the University Level.

      Simulation is often taught as a modeling technique
      in Business Colleges and Industrial Engineering programs.
      Many of these courses include similar content and
      use the same programming languages.
      Sometimes there is a separate simulation course and
      often simulation is taught as part of some larger topie.
      We feel that people involved simulation education will
      have many similar interests and concerns.

      This may become a forum for discussion of curriculum
      concerns as well as a place to ask questions about
      the most commonly used languages GPSS, SIMAN, SLAM,
      SIMSCRIPT and others.

      To subscribe to this listserve list,
      on VM/SP IBM systems the command is:
        TELL LISTSERV AT NMSUVM1 SUB SIMEDU-L <your name>

      on MVS IBM systems, the command is:
        TRANSMIT NMSUVM1.LISTSERV 'SUB SIMEDU-L <your name>' NOPROLOG

      on VAX systems, the command is:
         SEND LISTSERV@NMSUVM1 SUB SIMEDU-L <your name>

 Thanks for your support.

I have a colleague who wishes to determine performance estimates of a 
Graphical Information System over local area networks, metropolitan area
networks and wide area networks.

He can estimate the distribution of communication requests, which he would
like to feed into a simulator with various standard modules for the common 
networks, as indicated above.  He does *not* want to have to supply 
detailed low-level parameters.

Can anyone suggest appropriate tools?  references?

I am looking for a program for analysis and/or design of three-dimensional 
gravity structures. I've heard of a program developped by the American 
Army (3DSAD and CDAMS ???). This program will be used for the analysis
of concrete DAMS.

If anyone has information on this program or any program that will fit
our needs please contact me via private e-mail, this will be very much 
appreciated.

                                        Thanks,

Hi!

I am studying on the simulation of active objects which
can make their decisions and perform their actions,
without receipt of messages of other objects.
I think that it is very difficult or impossible to simulate
such autonomy in computer systems.

I want to hear some ideas or discussions.

Could anyone give me references on the simulation of the programmable
logic controller (PLC) based systems ?

To date I only find one reference on this topic:

J. Bailey, Simulation and the control industry," C&I, vol.22, no.1,
	January, 1990, pp. 45-47.

I promise to post a collection of references contributed by the netters later.

Many thanks

Ji,

PS  I am not interested in the simulation of high-level control systems
such as flow-shops etc.

Subject: Cranial Aneurysms, CFD, Simulation, Visualization

We have a surgeon here in the Medical Center at UCLA who specializes
in cranial aneurysms.  He wants to simulate and visualize blood flow
through an aneurysm.  I suppose he would also want to model the effect
of the catheters and implants that he uses.  I can imagine that he
would use the system to plan and rehearse operations as well as helping
patients, medical students and staff to visualize the procedures.

I have been reading from the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics
Lecture Series 1991-07 "Computer Graphics and Flow Visualization in
Computational Fluid Dynamics".  Apparently, everything he wants to
do can be done with "off-the-shelf" hardware and software.  But before
we recommend the purchase of expensive hardware and software, we would
like to propose a simple demonstration project to prove the feasibility
and value of this idea.  We hope that this would support a graduate
student for up to six months and eventually lead to a more serious
effort resulting in a useful system and a dissertation.

Can you provide references and recommend software that would run on
hardware (Sun4, RS6000, Stardent, SGI, etc.) that we have here in the
computer science department and visualization laboratory at UCLA?
Of course, at this stage, we are most interested in software that we
can obtain without commitment (free) so that we can evaluate it before
making a decision.  Thanks in advance, Bob Tisdale.  (edwin@cs.ucla.edu)

VHDL-Forum for CAD in Europe
SPRING '92 MEETING 
April, 26 - 29, 1992, Santander, Spain

VHDL-Forum for CAD in Europe:
The VHDL-Forum for CAD in Europe is the European VHDL Users' Group  
active in VHDL related Topics & Standardization Efforts and was 
founded at the IFIP VLSI'89 in Munich. The members belong to an 
international range of companies, institutes and universities, VHDL 
users as well as VHDL vendors. The motivation and history of the 
group was the European diverse experience in the field of HDLs & 
related topics (description, simulation, synthesis, formal proof & 
verification,...). The VHDL-Forum is related to the VHDL International 
Users' Forum (US), VHDL Users' Groups in Japan and Russia, and to the 
different VHDL standardization groups (DASS, European WG on VHDL 
Standardization). The previous meetings Fall'89 (Munich, Germany), 
Spring'90 (Grassau/Munich, Germany), Fall'90 (EUROVHDL, Marseille, 
France), Spring '91 in conjunction with the IFIP CHDL '91 (Tenth 
International Symposium on Computer Hardware Description Languages 
and their Applications) (Marseille, France) and Fall '91  (EUROVHDL, 
Stockholm, Sweden)  have shown great interest in the activities of 
this group.

1992 is the year of VHDL. After 5 years, VHDL is reballoted as an IEEE 
Standard. The language will be extended to cover additional fields of 
application. The standard lives! This is important for the VHDL community. 
The extension will be upward compatible! This is important for the 
industrial application of VHDL and the number of companies using VHDL 
increases steadily. In the research area VHDL is accepted as well. This 
is important to put theory into practise.

These international activities reflect the importance of VHDL as a Standard 
Hardware Description Language.  To show where VHDL stands now and what is 
the future trend, the motto of the meeting is "Questions and Answers to the 
Use of VHDL in Hardware Design". Beside the presentation sessions where very 
interesting papers on various topics are shown, the panel sessions promise 
hot discussions and there is plenty of time to discuss various topics within 

the working groups session. In the tutorials, the attendees have the chance 
to catch up additional information on the use of VHDL and the "new VHDL '92". 
Vendor presentations are scheduled to report about VHDL tools. After the 
general sessions on Wednesday, meetings of the DASS take place. The Spring '92 
Meeting is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing IFIP WG 10.2/10.5. 
Special thanks to Eugenio Villar. He has been the key person in the organization
of the Spring '92 Meeting of  the VHDL-Forum for CAD in Europe.

Aims and scope of SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING
 ----------------------------------------

The emergence of vector/parallel supercomputers has created a wealth of 
new challenges and opportunities for scientific programmers.  Currently, 
however, reports on new developments in scientific programming are 
scattered across a wide variety of journals devoted primarily to broader 
subjects, and (often obscure) conference and workshop proceedings.

In the coming decade, as the world comes to rely more and more on 
programming to solve real-world engineering, scientific and social 
problems, the importance of new languages, tools, environments, and 
compiler technology to support scientific programmers will increase 
rapidly.  By focussing attention on practical aspects of this emerging 
technology , SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING will become mandatory reading 
not only for all researchers in this area, but for practicing scientific 
programmers as well.

International in scope, this new journal brings together for the first 
time areas that until now have been thought of as distinct, and more 
closely related to their parent discipline (parallel processing, software 
engineering, compiler technology, specific application areas, etc.) than to 
scientific programming.  Papers within these related disciplines will be 
chosen for publication only if they deal primarily with practical issues of 
programming of general interest to scientific programmers and scientific 
programming researchers.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING provides a meeting ground for research in and 
practical experience with software engineering environments, tools, 
languages and paradigms aimed specifically at supporting scientific and 
engineering computing.  Coverage also includes vectorizing/parallelizing/ 
optimizing compiler techniques to support emerging supercomputer 
architectures, as well as implementation techniques applicable across 
several areas of scientific programming.

INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS:

1. Prospective authors should submit four copies of the manuscript
   to Robert G. Babb II or Ronald H. Perrott (or one e-mail copy
   of compressed, then uuencoded PostScript).  Camera-ready 
   illustrations (original plus one copy) must accompany the 
   manuscript, but separate from it.  All other correspondence 
   (concerning reprints, subscriptions, etc.) should be sent to 
   Diane Cerra, Professional and Trade Division, John Wiley and Sons, 
   Inc., 605 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10158, USA;

   Diane's e-mail address is d.cerra@wiley.compuserve.com.

2. Types of manuscripts:  Three types of contributions are considered
   for publication: full-length articles, brief communications of 1000
   words or less, and letters to the Editor.  Letters and brief
   communications can generally be published sooner than full-length
   articles.  All material submitted will be acknowledged on receipt and
   (except for letters) subject to paper review.  Copies of the referees'
   comments will be forwarded to the author along with the Editor's
   decision.

3. Copyright:  With the advent of the new U.S. Copyright Law effective
   January 1978, the transfer of copyright from author to publisher,
   heretofore implicit in the submission of a manuscript, must now be
   clearly stated in writing to enable the publisher to assure maximum
   dissemination of the author's work.  Therefore, a special transfer
   of copyright agreement, signed and executed by the author, must be
   enclosed with each manuscript submission.  (If the article is a "work
   made for hire" the agreement must be signed by the employer).  A copy
   of this form appears in the first and last issue of each volume.
   Additional copies may be obtained from the Editor.

4. Format of Submitted Material:  
   All copy, including references and captions, must be typed double 
   spaced.  The first page of the manuscript must bear the title 
   of the paper and the full names of the authors, their
   affiliations and full addresses.  In the case of multiple authors,
   please indicate which author is to receive correspondence and proofs.
   Financial support may be acknowledged in a footnote to the title.  
   All succeeding pages must bear the surname of the lead author and a 
   page number in the upper right-hand corner.  An informative abstract 
   of 200 words or less is required for articles and brief 
   communications.

5. Style:  In general, the style should follow the forms in the
   various Transactions of the IEEE.

6. Organization:  In general, the background and purpose of the study
   should be stated first, followed by details of the methods, materials,
   procedures, and equipment used.  Findings, discussion, and conclusions
   should follow in that order.  Appendices may be employed where
   appropriate.  

7. Illustrations:  All figures must be submitted in camera-ready form.
   Photocopies, dot matrix, and computer printouts are not acceptable.
   Line drawings should be of solid black and of an even weight
   throughout.  Computer programs should be camera-ready.  All artwork
   must be clearly labeled on the back.

8. Bibliography:  The accuracy and completeness of the references is
   the responsibility of the author.  References to personal letters,
   papers presented at meeting, and other unpublished material may be
   included.  If such material may be of help in the evaluation of the
   paper, copies should be made available to the Editor.  Papers which
   are part of a series should include a citation of the previous paper.
   Explanatory material may be appended to the end of a citation to avoid
   footnotes in text.

9. Reprints:  Reprints of articles may be ordered from the publisher
   when corrected proofs are returned.

People interested in submitting manuscripts via electronic mail can
contact the Editors for details on how to do this.
