Call for Papers: 38th Annual Simulation Symposium

Part of the 2005 Spring Simulation Multiconference

San Diego, April 2-8, 2005
Hilton Mission Valley Hotel
Sponsored by:
The Society for Modeling and Simulation International
(Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society)

The Annual Simulation Symposium is a forum for the exchange of ideas,
techniques,
and applications among practitioners of simulation in industry, government,
and academia.
This international Symposium is the oldest continuously operating
conference/symposium
dedicated to simulation.

The paper sessions are designed to promote discussion of concepts, tools,
methodologies,
and results between authors and the audience. The structure of the Symposium
also provides
for a degree of collegiality and continuity in the discussions of the
various topics
presented during the week.

Original contribution in all areas of modeling and simulation are welcome.
This year's
Symposium is particularly seeking papers in the following topical areas:

.. Object-Oriented Simulation
.. Simulation Languages, Tools, and Environments
.. VLSI Circuit Simulators
.. Simulation of Multiprocessor Architectures
.. Simulation of Distributed Systems and Databases
.. Simulation of Parallel Processing Systems
.. Simulation based Performance Analysis
.. Network Modeling and Simulation
.. Simulation of Sensor Networks
.. Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Networking and Computing
.. Simulation of Large Scale Systems
.. Simulation of Clusters and Grids
.. Simulation of Client-Server Systems
.. Simulation of Wireless Systems
.. Pervasive computing
.. Smart network design and traffic modeling
.. Routing and Mobility Management in Networks
.. Wearable Computer Systems
.. Mobile and Nomadic Computing
.. Energy-aware Schemes for Wireless Networks
.. Simulation of Real-time Systems
.. Parallel and Distributed Simulation
.. Simulation of Agent Systems
.. Simulation based Software Performance
.. Reliability and Maintenance Models
.. Simulation of Multimedia Applications and Systems
.. Artificial Intelligence in Simulation
.. Neural Network Models and Simulation
