department in Dartmouth College. Many papers in various different topics
of parallel simulation will be presented.

The conference registration fee includes: Sunday afternoon tutorial; coffee

breaks; Sunday evening reception; continental breakfast on Monday, Tuesday,

and Wednesday; Lunch on Monday and Tuesday; and a Banquet on Tuesday
evening.


Conference Excursion

The conference excursion, as currently planned, is a boat trip along the
