SPECTS 2000 PRELIMINARY PROGRAM AND AUTHOR KIT
 
The simulation industry is changing rapidly in response to economic imperatives and technological opportunity. Fueled by economic pressure, simulation is becoming pervasive in government and industry. Facilitated by emerging standards and infrastructure, simulation intervisibility, interoperability, and re-use among heretofore segmented simulation markets are becoming practical. Simulation application domains that have been insular and specialized are beginning to share concepts, practices, and assets at an accelerating pace. SCSC 2000 participants can hobnob with their fellow wizards, think outside the box, and discover for themselves the trends that will dominate the evolution of the 21st Century simulation industry.

The SCSC 2000 meeting will emphasize topics of synoptic interest to the entire modeling and simulation community by focusing on such topics as:

Simulation Technologies: Languages, Tools, Architectures, and Techniques
Abstraction and Conceptual Modeling and Representation Schemas
Simulation Development, Operations, and Maintenance Practices
Simulation Results, Credibility and Confidence
Implications of Computation and Data Management Capability
Implications of the Communication and E-Commerce Revolution, and
Management, Business Practice, and the Economics of Modeling and Simulation

Papers and panelists from a wide range of application domains are particularly solicited. Participation by diverse simulation communities is expected to heighten awareness at the meeting of the significant similarities and differences which characterize modeling and simulation technology and practice within the industry. By sampling generously across the industry, we expect to discover those topics which are most generally important and which best admit to inter-domain collaboration. Particular application domains of interest include but are not limited to:

 
Aerospace
Chemicals
Commerce
Communications
Construction
Economics of M&S
Electronics
Engineering
Entertainment
Environmental
Government
Hydraulics
Industrial Design
Materials
Medical / Pharmaceutical
Military and Para-Military
Mining and Geologic
Mecatronics
Oceanographic and
Atmospheric
Optics
Organization Design
Petroleum
Power
Semiconductor
Service Operations
Transportation
 
Invited Speakers will provide senior executives' views of the evolving simulation landscape. Paper Sessions will report practitioners' progress in addressing issues of general concern. Panels will provide cross-domain review of selected issues. Workshop Sessions will provide a structured, moderated venue for the collegial investigation of topics admitting to subsequent ACTION. Exhibits will afford vendors and users of simulation products and services the opportunity to demonstrate their wares and capabilities.

Requirements & Deadlines

Abstracts should be submitted on-line at http://www.scs.org/confernc/scsc00/text/abstract_submit.html by April 15, 2000. Abstracts received after this date will be considered as long as time and program space permit. Each abstract must include the title of the proposed paper, with a short summary (400_900 words), so that it may be properly positioned in the conference. Please indicate which conference topic is most appropriate, first and second choices.

Proposals for panels or other type of sessions should be sent to the SCSC 2000 General Chair, Bill Waite at BWaite@AEgistg.com or the SCSC 2000 Conference Coordinator, Steve Branch, at 4838 Ronson Court, Suite L, San Diego, CA 92111, E-mail: sbranch@scs.org, by April 15, 2000.

Notifications of acceptance status will be sent on or about April 30, 2000

Final manuscript accepted papers and all other material to be included in Conference CD-ROM Proceedings must be submitted by June 1, 2000.

Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the conference, present their work to their peers, transfer copyright, and pay a conference registration fee at the time of submission of their final manuscript.
