			Call For Papers
	7th Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation (PADS)
	In association with the Federated Computing Research Conference
	May 17-19 1993, Sheraton Harbor Island Hotel, San Diego, CA. 


The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation (PADS) is
the oldest and longest running conference on parallel and distributed
simulation.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  * Techniques, algorithms, and systems for concurrent simulation (e.g. 
discrete, continuous, combined, real time, optimistic, conservative)

  * Programming constructs and languages for concurrent simulation

  * Performance evaluation of concurrent simulation algorithms and 
systems

  * Special purpose parallel simulation (e.g. network, logic, cache 
simulations)

  * Concurrent graphics and animation for simulation

  * Relationship of concurrent simulation and computer architecture
(e.g., SIMD, geographically distributed computing, tightly coupled
multiprocessors)

  * Case studies applying concurrent simulation techniques to
production simulation software 


Schedule:

   October 15, 1992: Deadline for program chair to receive paper
submissions (6 copies).  

   January 15 1993:  Notification of acceptance

   February 28 1993: Tentative deadline for camera ready copy


Review Process:

All submissions will be reviewed using a double-blind review process 
(i.e., the identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to
each other).  In addition to regular papers, the Program Committee 
may accept additional papers either as short papers or for inclusion in
a poster session.  Poster abstracts will appear in the proceedings.
Papers judged to be especially high in quality will be forwarded for
consideration for publication in the "ACM Transactions on Modeling and 
Computer Simulation."

Submissions:

Papers must be in English and should not exceed 5000 words.

Submitted papers must represent original work that has
not appeared or been simultaneously submitted to other conferences. 

To ensure blind reviewing, authors' names and affiliations 
should appear only on the cover sheet.  Bibliographic references 
should be modified so as not to reveal the author's identity.

Six (6) copies of the manuscript together with a cover letter 
stating the name, address (postal and electronic), and phone number 
of each author should reach the Program Chairman by October 15, 1992.

PADS '93 will be part of the Federated Computing Research
Conference (FCRC), which will encompass several established research 
conferences and workshops to be held in conjunction with one another.  
Its main goal is to obtain the benefits of having the computing research
community meet together as a larger group, but to retain the 
traditional structure and research identity of the constituent meetings.


Meetings confirmed as participants in FCRC are as follows:

  * 20th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture 
(ISCA '93)

  * 25th Annual ACM Symposium on the Theory of Computation (STOC)

  * 9th Annual ACM Symposium on Computational Theory

  * 4th ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practices of Parallel 
Programming (PPoPP '93)

  * 8th Annual Conference on Structure in Complexity Theory

  * Workshop on Parallel Algorithms (WOPA)

  * 7th Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation (PADS)

  * ACM/ONR Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Debugging
