23rd ACM/IEEE/SCS Workshop on
Principles of Advanced and Distributed Simulation (PADS 2009)  

June 22-25, 2009, Lake Placid, New York, USA

	Tuesday Keynote Speaker:      Jay Misra   University of Texas at Austin, USA     Describing Simulations in the Orc Programming language
	Wednesday Keynote Speaker:      Felix Schürman   Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne     The Blue Brain Project - Simulation-based Research in Neuroscience

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 19, 2009
• Notification of acceptance: February 23, 2009.
• Camera-ready submission: March 23, 2009.
• Author registration: April 27, 2009.
• Advanced registration: April 27, 2009.

Submissions:

Papers must be written in English and should not exceed eight pages in approved IEEE format. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere.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 2009 will be considered for extension and publication within a Special Issue of SCS Simulation.

Please refer to the detailed instructions on paper submission.

Abstracts for Work in Progress -We plan to include abstracts for work-in-progress presentations in the printed proceedings. If you would like to provide a 10-minute presentation of your ongoing work (not necessarily ready to be published in full length yet) at PADS'09, you are invited to submit an extended abstract (max. 300 words in plain text) via E-Mail to the Program Chair (reynolds@virginia.edu) before March 16, 2009. A final selection will be announced before March 23, 2009.
