22nd ACM/IEEE/SCS Workshop on
Principles of Advanced and Distributed Simulation (PADS 2008)

June 3-6, 2008, Rome, Italy

	Keynote Speaker: Don Towsley University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA Mobility Models for Wireless Networks: Challenges, Pitfalls, and Successes
	Tutorial: Stephen John Turner Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Distributed Simulation on the Grid

Here is the COMPLETE CONFERENCE PROGRAM. 

The PADS workshop has expanded its traditional focus on parallel and distributed simulation methods and applications to cover all aspects of simulation technology, including the following areas:

• The construction of simulation engines using advanced computer science technology.
• Techniques for constructing scalable simulations.
• Advanced modeling techniques that allow solution of previously difficult or impossible problem domains.
• Simulation visualization techniques.
• Algorithms and methods for parallel or distributed simulation, including synchronization, scheduling, memory management, and load balancing.
• Applications of large-scale or distributed simulation methods.
• Distributed interactive simulation and distributed virtual environments.
• Tools and techniques for interoperability of simulations; emulations of real systems.
• Mechanisms for efficient design of experiments.

Sponsors:

ACM Special Interest Group on Simulation (SIGSIM), IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Simulation (IEEE-TCSIM), and Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS).

Important Dates:

• Paper submission: January 7, 2008 January 21, 2008 (this is a firm deadline).
• Notification of acceptance: February 15, 2008.
• Camera-ready submission: March 14, 2008.
• Author registration: March 26, 2008.
• Advanced registration: April 28, 2008.

Submissions:

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 Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere.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.

Selected articles from PADS 2008 will be considered for extension and publication within a Special Issue of SCS Simulation.

Please refer to the detailed instructions on paper submission.
