*NOTE NEW* SUBMISSION DEADLINE:  December 15, 2002

  The steering committee for the Workshop on Parallel and Distributed
  Simulation (PADS) has approved an expanded scope for work published
  and presented in this conference.  In addition to the traditional
  focus on parallel and distributed simulation methods and
  applications, the conference will now include all aspects of
  simulation technology.  The steering and program committees look
  forward to a number of high--quality paper submissions in the
  following areas.

      The construction of simulation engines using advanced computer
      science technology; either sequential, parallel, or distributed in
      nature.
  
      Techniques for constructing scalable simulations that can
      incorporate hundreds of thousands to millions of entities.  Enabling
      technology in either the simulation engine or model construction
      technology are both encouraged.
  
      Advanced modeling techniques that allow solution of previously
      difficult or impossible problem domains.  These techniques should be
      generally applicable across a wide variety of differing problem
      areas.
  
      Simulation visualization techniques that incorporate advances in
      software technology or data representation.
  
      Algorithms and methods for parallel or distributed simulation,
      including synchronization, scheduling, memory management, and load
      balancing.
  
      Applications of large--scale or distributed simulation methods, such
      as computer architecture, computer networks, VLSI, manufacturing,
      and biological/social systems.
  
      Distributed interactive simulation and distributed virtual
      environments.
  
  Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 5000
  words. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for
  publication elsewhere.  Each submission must be accompanied by the
  following information: a short abstract, a complete list of authors
  and their affiliations, a contact person for correspondence, post and
  email addresses. 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. To ensure blind reviewing, authors' names
  and affiliations should not appear in the paper, bibliographic
  references should be modified so as not to reveal the identities of
  the authors.
